I bought this my mistake and is there an easy way to just show current watts continuously. I didn't realize this monitoring type was available and bought the wrong one.
Why didn't you check your P.C.?
It’s a laptop and pulls very little power.
I have been trying to find something like or an equivalent to this, for larger home appliances, like a 240 volt, 30 amp, 4 prong plug clothes dryer. Any suggestions?
Sorry, I cannot help you with a 240v 30a version
I don't understand the calculations this device is using. Putting on the space heater on high draws 1232 watts. At a rate of $0.10 per KWH, your daily cost should be around $2.95. Yet, your device showed $0.60 per day. (1232 watts / 1000 watts = 1.232 KWH x 24 hours = $2.95. What's going on? Thanks
It has been my experience, that it takes it some hours to settle on a more realistic value.
Yeah I was just watching an official howto video on it and they say to leave appliances like fridges plugged in for a week to get an accurate reading, since those dont draw max power all the time it figures it all out, id guessng it does some averaging calculations overtime, which is pretty cool, its actaully will calculate the cost of your appliance based on your usage not just max power draw. So as a long as you leave it plugged in for a bit to get some data on your usage habits with it, it should give you an accurate reading. I just found one at thrift store the otherday and im really impressed, I havent been able to find anything like it at my local hardware stores and this was made in 2007 according to the package, strange.
