According to my calibrated Tasmota plug, mine is guzzling about 160 Watt every hour, with energy costs sitting at (iirc) 0,38€/kWh. I really gotta take the time and track down who the worst offenders are some day....

May I ask how you are able to calculate this? Thank you!
I don't want to play this game...
Son, if you’re looking at power costs you’re in the wrong sub.
/s
Everything running I’m sitting at 392w
~4 Amps @220V last reading on the stabilizer.
Costs around 15~20 USD/month.
Do you have any base fees in your bill?
Running 5 dell r730XD with a ton of networking gear and ip cameras, I'm pulling about 5000 watts or 120kwh a day. Roughly $600 a month in power. YIIIPPEEEEEE
What software is this? Thanks!
50W - $3 a month
~$0.08 per kW
That’s damn cheap. I am sitting at ~15W for 0.33€ per kW
Approx 190W 24/7 and that's CAD $14 per month.
Ok.. this may be a dumb question, but what software is OP running to create those graphs?
About 3000W ~ 400 Euros a Month in Germany.
~0.2€/KwH Day
~0.15€KwH Night
257kWh this month, or about $30 of electricity where I live.
This includes my entire server rack so not just specifically my server costs.
3 UPS's read 350ish Watt all day 24/7/365 and thats just from my main rack
Add another 400 watts for my proxmox cluster (5 node one being an ML360g6 for 200watts)
And then another 150ish watts for my computer desk with 2 laptops and 6 monitors
Did i say i live in an apt and DONT pay for electric :)
Instead of sharing power usage, share the equipment you're using to lower Watt usage.
Mine is about 600w and is mostly powered by solar but if it weren’t would cost me $13 at USD0.03/kwh
130w average usage for me. Works out at roughly £28/month (damn UK energy prices).
That 130w includes the server, switches and waps.
Getting my info from HWMonitor as I can't find a better option without buying a hardware solution.
CPU: around 15W DRAM: around 10W GPU: around 60W if I'm reading that bit right...
Total (and adding a bit for other components and PSU efficiency losses): around 115W
Over a (30 day) month that would be 82.8kWh or £26 a month (actually a bit less than this as I'm on an economy 7 tariff which halves the costs per kWh overnight, I went with worst case as the server uses more energy during the weekend days).
Would be interesting to boot up the old server and check use there, willing to bet a dual Xeon X5670 machine with spinning rust for storage would be far higher than the current Xeon E5 2690 v4 with M.2s in there (a quick Google search indicates 174W for a machine with less hardware than my old server, at idle)
About 250w. Cost of power on average 5 cents (€) per kWh. Often much lower than that. Last week it was negative. Don’t really care about the cost of electricity. 🇫🇮
Ha mine is 10x that
What are you using to view and chart your power usage?
Mine is sadly over an order of magnitude higher than this...
About 300W, ~7kWh a day, costs me about $80 AUD a month.
Way beyond. Germany.
Please share your setup that you've used to achieve these figures. I am interested!
