What sensors/ software do you use to measure energy consumption? (alien.top)

Either all home electricity with data being gathered near/at meter, or targeting a specific point, like your home-lab consumption or particular devices?

I'm just looking for helpful tools to help visualize and monitor energy consumption.

CTs would be the easiest option for longer term monitoring. Installation is non-invasive (to the wiring), and you can either buy a power monitoring system or design one yourself.

For something portable and non-permanent, a current clamp can be used to monitor a single device.

For a quick check, you could use a kill-a-watt
