Selfhosters what is the power draw of your entire setup? And have you done anything special to manage it you’d like to share?
Including all network equipment I use around 110kWh of good ol’ 120V 60Hz USA juice per month. Averaging about 215 watts of power draw for my systems. Nothing amazing, but I like to think that it’s a conservative setup for everything I accomplish with it. I’m paying around $25 a month for my setup. None of that includes my work PC or personal PC, just hosting infrastructure.
Other than trying to make sure all power states are available on my server I haven’t done a lot of power conservation.
I’m curious what you all have.
A lot of UPSs will have power metering as well if you’re not already on one.
I am, and it does, that’s how I got the 300-400w estimate. It is connected to the NAS and shuts it down gracefully when power goes out. Wonder if the NAS can also read the power usage over that cable. Might just be easier to use a $15 zigbee plug though to get the data directly into Home Assistant.
If you have a NUT server configured then you can depending on UPS vendor. My APC can and that’s how I pull it into HA.
