Energy usage monitor

In BC, if you sign up for "myhydro" It's a computer interface to read your meter. It allows you to see what you're spending and lets you graph it all the way down to by the hour. Sadly, I've been on it for about 3 weeks and have to say I look every day and it's depressing. I've been on an energy kick (mostly trying to offset the tank spike in usage). With the tier system, you see how little they actually give you at a decent rate before hiking it big time.

Hey Mark, how are you getting down to the 'hour'. I don't seem to have that option yet on my MYHYDRO page. Best I have is a line graph providing info up to 'yesterday'. Or are you referring to the Kwhr number on the graph, in which case I have that too?

When you look at the daily consumption, just click on the bar of the day you are looking at....it breaks it down to hourly. Took me a bit to find as well.

Thanks guys. Ya, I was looking for ones that plug in line to individual appliances. I figured then I can prioritize what things I want to upgrade using power consumption as one of the many other factors to consider.
I'll look at that link, thanks Mike.
