Measure, track, and monitor energy consumption

I would also be interested to know who the [Großverbraucher] is!

So my computer (workstation) uses more than expected but not a whole lot either. It adds up to about 2-3 kWh/day. The dryer was exactly one drying cycle with 3 kWh. But that doesn't happen daily, on average more like once every three days, so about 1 kWh per day. Now I somehow have to look at the cooling appliances...

I can already see that each device simply uses its 1-2 kWh per day and it just adds up. I definitely have 10 devices in total.

This is how it currently looks for me (month May)



WW AUX is the heating element for hot water – I always switch it on when there is photovoltaic surplus and raise the storage temperature to 65 degrees.
Heat pump is the consumption of the "normal" outdoor unit.
Heating operation did not take place.
Otherwise, you can clearly see that the central ventilation draws almost as much as a refrigerator and a freezer combined (both not very old units).
Dryer * washing machine run every 2-3 days.

The dishwasher surprised me a lot. 2 years old Siemens; usually runs once a day at about 40 degrees.

... what surprised you about the dishwasher? Ran about 17 times, consumption is absolutely okay, on average under 1 kWh.

I recently got a new Siemens dishwasher after 18 years, which can also be controlled via an app. When selecting the programs with prior determination of the degree of soiling, a consumption estimate is always predicted. So Eco with all the bells and whistles should then usually consume just under 0.9 kWh. It then runs for almost 5 hours .. in contrast, the 70° program, which I run occasionally, consumes 1.45 kWh and lasts just under 3 hours.

I don't measure the dishwasher separately but constantly monitor my values due to my balcony power plant and can confirm these predicted consumptions that way.

So my computer (workstation) uses more than expected but not a lot either. It adds up to about 2-3 kWh/day.

Oh wow, what are you running on it?

Out of interest, I put a Shelly behind my office setup and the Thinkpad plus UWQHD monitor currently draw a maximum of 0.7 kWh per workday. Last year with a dual monitor setup it was just over 1 kWh.

However, I deliberately excluded the gaming PC from the consumption measurement, but according to the photovoltaic instantaneous consumption it doesn’t use much either.
