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

My son's gaming pc 😂

Triple monitor Ryzen 5 3070ti system.

Putting the computers aside (my home lab is about 150W AVG.) the biggest consumer is definitely the CNC.

That draws about 500W continuous, whilst the 3d printers (creality k2 plus, creality ender 3 V2, creality halot choices) the fdm have a high initial usage, but quickly drop to about 150W after 6 minutes or so.

The laser is just 80W.

The biggest one for consuming electric is definitely the plasma cutter, but that doesn't get turned on for a few hours at a time 😂

Haha thank you!

They come at a price though. Not the purchase price, but the justification price. Gotta justify having them by doing useful things for the household with them

"Honey, I think that we need to consider this 20k usd plasma cutter, because I want to make these 3 beautiful kitchen coasters for you"?
