Once you get yours, you would be able to use the Google power meter feature.
Of course you could also just walk outside and get a real time reading as well, but I posted because I think a lot of folks would rather just check it alongside their e-mail.
Don't mind me Cd, I'm just a grouchy old man. You might be too if your kWh usage from 23 Jun to 25 Jul was 1385. Not a record btw.

It's a great idea and if I can figure it out I just might make it part of my wife's desktop.

My utility is not listed as a partner. That doesn't mean the info is not available. If I figure it out I will post it.

Smile cd, don't be sorry and it was not personal.
