  My dishwasher pulls over 1000W, but overall actual usage pales in comparison to my server cluster, which utilizes a multiple 35W mini PCs.

  I started measuring a bunch of things in February (using zigbee-compatible smart plugs to HA), so here is a graph of the above for the entire month of March:

  It was eye opening, to say the least.

    Yeah, my rack is a beast too, especially since it runs 24/7.

    I have PGE though, so I get absolutely reamed constantly, they play a lot of games so my solar helps me as little as possible.

    Oh, I had a whole-house meter connected to my smart meter by zigbee, but then PGE disabled that a few years ago.

    Worst part of california :(
