I use sonoff devices to monitor my rigs.

Topic: How to track power (Read 782 times)
I'm so glad you asked...
It's clever slippery fucker indeed...fortunately..
Power tracking is Old tradition in my family
I am third generation Native power tracker...
I am also a power Whisperer..I train Power tracking dogs.
I can track power over streams and through deep snow..Mountains & deserts.
I have trained MANY young power trackers..Wrote many books on power tracking, lectured at conferences.
I have very affordable rates..I have CD course for purchase and offer personal power tracking consultations by appointment.
I have a staff of fully qualified power trackers able to assist you with all your power tracking needs...
We are TrackPower.com and HOWTOTRACKPOWER on youtube...
We are also experts on Power traps and snares....power hide and leather prep. and power taxidermy...Live Bait for power fishers..
Personally, I just look at the bill the electric company sends me..that works fine

Thanks for all the replies! I think I will end up with the Schneider power meter since it has Modbus connectivity. That will allow me to record the data historically, which is perfect for my purposes.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
You could also use a "ferrite core" type meter that slips a large inductive current reading toroid over the cord of each miner.
A lot of them connect to the power line for voltage to run the meter on, and to read that voltage so they can give you a wattage output.
I've seen them get FAIRLY cheap though the accuracy of the cheap ones isn't all that great.

You could use one of these things: https://www.fibaro.com/en/products/wall-plug/
It's a wall plug that changes color to indicate the wattage drawn and it connects with a main router that allows you to access all the plugs via wifi. You can then use your mobile device to turn each of them on/off and see the power usage graphs.

A Smart Meter might be a way to get an average increase in your electricity
Best case is that you would have a dedicated distribution box for mining gear and a dedicated energy meter for that.
It is also possible to have multiple groups (one phase or three phase) measured with these DIN rail mounted energy meter for example
Search Google with words "schneider electric din rail energy meter" for example to get the picture what I mean.

Kill A Watt if you're running a smaller operation. Electrical sub meter for a larger operation.
I'm interested in what other people have to say as well as I'll be renting out a small warehouse soon and will need a separate electrical service installed.

I use multiple TrippLite UPSes that track my load on my 220-240v miners.
I had looked around at Triplite, but hadn't found any prices (for new) - only eBay. I need to get more info on how those track per-outlet power. I'll do a bit more research on those - thanks for sending me down that path.
You can use the Kill A Watt / Belkin options if you are using 120V but fewer options at 240V.
Are you using a Smart PDU? I just received my apc ap7911a and it has the ability to monitor current usage by outlet. I can let you know in a few days if it has any graphical / historical features after this weekend.

Hey guys,
First post here. Building out my rig and was wondering if anyone is tracking power usage? I would like to track each rig from a current and historical (daily and monthly, most likely) perspective. Anyone doing this and how?
I've looked over tons of options and just haven't found anything that does this historically, yet. I see the Kill A Watt stuff looks closest, but it is all read-out instead of either web-server and historian or a protocol I can store myself.
Thanks in advance!
