So I got flamed on Reddit for asking this question. I swear that site is cancer.

Anyway...

We get a bill from the electrical company and it only shows the amount owed, and the usage.

I am just curious if it's possible to get a type of system that can be installed at the line of our house which manages all outlets of the house. And then, can generate a graph or show a live feed of every room in the house and their respective usage.

Obviously I have no knowledge of electrical engineering, so I would need to get something like this installed professionally. I am curious if something like this exists already, and if it does how much would something like this cost and who can I contact? Thanks!

Lol I know it sounds simple but I'm curious if something like this exists. I want to see like a live graph/feed of every outlet and their usage. Would be so cool, just not sure how to get something like that installed (if it even exists)

the system would cost more than you'd ever save monitoring it.

Sorry, want to know if it's possible to do 1 installation at the line that manages/measures all outlets

How is this even helping me? How is money relevant to my question?

Hmm. Yeah kinda, but don't want to have a separate outlet that we would need to re-plugin into.

More curious if I can get someone to install something at the meter/line and it measures all the circuits / connections to the outlets in the house. Then, have the ability to see a live feed of the activity or option to view a graph / blueprint of the house and the usage in each room (via local server, or w/e)
