No, it is 4kwh all together

LED: 18 Espresso machine: 30 Basement TV: 45 Another TV: 0.5 TEAC: 18 X-Box: 15 Power strip 1: 30 Power strip 2: 22 Total: 2.1 kWh per day You haven't mentioned any more consumption.

Then suggest an alternative to find out why I need so much electricity and you need less. Which measuring device? The fact is that we consume the electricity... the measurements also fit this...

Since it can no longer be found out why there were 10 kWh in absence. Now it is 11 kWh per day (average of the last 3 weeks). That is a fact. We can now calculate or change measuring devices: it is 11 kWh and I will again end up with around 4000 kWh annual consumption for household electricity. During this time I charged the EUp once and used the infrared once.

Thus I can understand how the TE arrived at 10,000 kWh and that was doubted here. And called unnecessary. Or the word was pointless.

The OLED certainly doesn’t need 40W in standby. As said, it can consume that much after being turned off or sometimes in between to refresh the OLEDs, but not all the time. I can’t say what’s up with the portafilter. Ask the manufacturer or contact consumer protection. But please check your measuring method first. ;)

I even find discussions online that the TV consumes 40W. In the related thread, settings are mentioned that reduced consumption to 18W for me. And if it didn’t need the 40W / my measurements are wrong, as explained above, there still results a high consumption at point 2 … I could measure every device as I like, it remains 4000 kWh per year.

As already said, that can very well be the case. The devices can be operated EU-compliantly with settings (s Anleitung), but for that, every bit of crap must be turned off. For example, background updates, network functions like WOL, etc. Maybe you’ll also find settings specifically for standby operation. Some manufacturers also know “Deep Standby” and such tricks.

In the range of 200-250W base load, you are normally operating, in my opinion, you can barely do much less in a single-family house. But for you, it’s too much. Are you sure the heat pump wasn’t heating water and/or the circulation was running?

Since it can no longer be found out why there were 10 kWh in absence.

Do all computers, X-Boxes and every crap always have to stay on standby? Whether your coffee machine is on or on standby makes no difference—only in power consumption.

it's 11 kWh and with that I will again end up with 4,000 kWh annual consumption just for household electricity

So what now? 4,000 kWh annual consumption or standby consumption. Make up your mind. 4,000 kWh is 11 kWh per day—and I do not assume that all your 17 TVs, boxes, computers etc. are turned off. I also have between 3,500 and 4,000 kWh household electricity as a single/part-time father in the house. In standby, however, only max. 2 kWh per day. The rest is made up by devices that are actually on.

I now have 3 kWh per day after I installed switchable power strips on the mentioned devices everywhere.

Do you all always turn off your devices 100%? Do you press more than just the power button on the coffee machine, or do you also all have such power strips?

The thing with the hot water or the circulation cannot be the case since the air-water heat pump has a separate meter.

I don’t know how else to explain it, sorry. I’ll try again:

10 kWh before when we were away. Then the mentioned devices were disconnected completely, so the plugs were pulled out, now it’s 3 kWh per day when we are not there. However, it is 11 kWh when we are there and, of course, have devices on. But I find that very much again because if I calculate it up, I come to over 4000 kWh per year for 2 people.

I was simply shocked that those few devices draw so much when I’m not even using them. Especially with the TVs in the basement, it’s easy to only turn them on using the power strip before use. I don’t feel like constantly turning off the living room TV directly at the socket and not just with the remote control. Unfortunately, those 18W will continue to be drawn….
