Either all home electricity with data being gathered near/at meter, or targeting a specific point, like your home-lab consumption or particular devices?
I’m just looking for helpful tools to help visualize and monitor energy consumption.
A tplink smartplug (hs110), with a small node app, fetching the value to push it to influxdb
My UPS systems have built in monitoring.
Because the only thing that matters at the end of the day is the overall total power consumption for my apartment I have an Emporia Vue sitting next to my breaker box graphing the data for all three phases. I spent a year logging values and then compared them to the bill (and monthly consumption numbers) sent out by my energy provider to know how those measurements relate to the actual billed amount since those sensors are never 100% accurate.
Did it help?
overall entire house: IoTaWatt. with this I monitor the power usage on every individual breaker in my house plus the 240VAC mains
for the home lab: combination of my APC network management card V3 in my UPS, which shows aggregate lab power usage but i also have a cyberpower pdu81003 that gives me outlet level on/off controls and outlet level power monitoring.
all of these report back to my InfluxDB database and i have nice grafana dashboards.

Wow. Thorough. I like it! 👍
I use rpiPowerMon:
Oh awesome! I love finding additional uses for my pi’s.
