Electricity@Home

[deicool]

Hello

I am a newbie. Was wondering if someone has done a project to calculate the exact electricity used by each device @ home (Refrigerator, Fans, AC, Washing Machine, Computer) everyday?

Please advise.

Thanks.

This is doable of course, but you need to deal with high voltage, high current which can be deadly if you don't know what you are doing

I would use smart plugs with energy monitoring for this. It will probably be safer, more accurate and in the end cheaper than building your own...

Please don't worry about the risk to my life. Any suggestions how would I do this? Thank You

I worry for the ones around you. If you ask this question, it is likely that you don't know anything about electricity...

if you google "ARDUINO ENERGY METER" you will find tons of projects.

Good you bought this up. I don't want to risk the lives of anyone around me. I will have to find some other way out. Thanks anyways.
