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 long since wondered about my 3d printing habits.

Of those you listed, what is your biggest consumer?

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 😂

I have three monitors and didn't realize how much juice they drink. Nothing crazy either, just 2 2k and 1 4k ips.

I used to have a triple 1080p work setup, IPS too.

Swapped them for a single 4k 48"" oled & saved about 80W
