How can I check my electricity consumption in real time?
Use a smart electricity meter
One way to check your electricity consumption in real time is to use a smart electricity meter. These meters can be installed at home and give you information about your electricity consumption in real time. You can monitor your electricity consumption, for example, using a smartphone application.
Use energy meter
Another way to check your electricity consumption in real time is to use an energy meter. The energy meter is plugged into a socket and you can use it to measure the amount of electricity consumed by different devices. This way you can find out which devices consume the most electricity and optimize their use.
Take advantage of smart home automation systems
Many smart home automation systems offer the possibility to monitor electricity consumption in real time. With these systems, you can, for example, set alarms if your electricity consumption exceeds a certain limit, and optimize the home’s energy efficiency.
