Comment on Ask HN: How much electricity does a WiFi router consume?parent

Comments

There are ways to read out your meter readings into e.g. a Raspberry Pi (using the P1 port if you have a smart meter, or with a stick-on sensor)

Do you have a link to more info on this? Thanks.

Here's some documentation from Home Assistant: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/#search/dsmr

There's this forum thread on Tweakers.net (Dutch): https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1578510

There are also plug-and-play devices like https://www.homewizard.com/

Other than that, I think the meter types and data standards differ somewhat between countries, so it's probably best to research how it works in your own country/area.

Oh, here's some other, pretty useful-looking documentation from Home Assistant touching on multiple different scenarios: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/energy/electricity-grid/
