As mentioned in the previous related article back in December, I set back then a new objective of 25 kWh per week. The historical overview below shows that this new target has only been exceeded in a major way once since then:
This means that my annual consumption should be around 1300 kWh, way below the mean figure of a household of 2 to 3 people in Switzerland (between 3000 and 4000 kWh according to http://www.energie-umwelt.ch/elektrizitaet/strom-im-haushalt)
The historic overview gives a good insight into the consumption and allows understanding pretty closely when electricity was used:
The measurement is very handy, as it shows in a graphical way the current electricity consumption, sampled every 2 seconds. In this example, we had a usage of around 130 w with a few spikes to 140 w. It’s especially helpful to see the impact of turning on some electricity demanding devices.
Either the current granularity is too low or there is an issue in the measurement, but my experiment to understand how much electricity my halogen lamp was using turned out to be a fiasco:
Once the lamp was switched at its entire performance, I would have expected an increase in the graph. Nothing happened, every avec a couple of minutes. The graph remained stable at 130 w, not taking into account the newly light lamp. Below is the overview, as well as a picture of the eco-halogen bulb I’m using – still 230 w (instead of 300 w):
So I’m now wondering, am I just an exception by using so little electricity or is there an issue in my setup?
