First measurements

The first measurements made with the Kill-A-Watts:

Keurig coffee maker: 0.03 kWh per cup from cold start.  OK, this is not an earth-shattering amount of energy.  I'll do more tests to see if cups in quick succession require the same amount of energy per cup.

Bedroom a/c (Kenmore 6000 BTU/hr, 560W): 3.86 kWh overnight.  Let's say 8 hours x .560 kW = 4.5 kWh, so the rating is a bit higher than the actual power used.

Music room dehumidifier (LG 600W): 4.01 kWh over 18 hours with a goal of 35% humidity.  It will be interesting to map this usage over an entire summer as the humidity changes.

Retesting both the music room and cat litter dehumidifiers for a 24 hour period starting at 8:45am on 9/4/2015.  Results to be reported tomorrow.
