[Novalug] anyone have any experience with home power usage measurement

[James (Jim) Darlack]

Radio shack sells a nice meter that can be read thru serial port.  I think there are clamp on current sensors that will connect to a VOM.  Cant recall any VOM/current/wattage meter specifically designed as a clamp on device with a serial port... or USB.

most amount of power. i was thinking clamp-on ammeter's, recording
via a computer for sometime and seeing where that leads. though i'm
guessing that's probably out of my price range.

i'd like to see where most of my energy dollars are going.
