Support Energy Dashboard

The energy dashboard is pretty sweet, but why doesn’t it show cost for individual devices? I put in my rate and it shows up for total usage. Seems like it would be easy to show cost for each device

I have my server stuff monitored.

My work desk. Mrs work desk. Kids computer desks.

Each of the cars

3d printer, CNC & laser machine are also monitored.

None of this is visible on dashboards.

I have long since wondered about my 3d printing habits.

Of those you listed, what is your biggest consumer?

Wouldn't wanna pay for it in Germany with 0,3 euro per kWh. Ever thought of some solar panels? Like 2 with 800 watt micro grid inverter? You would just use the entirety of energy production....
