Thus, tracking electricityusage has become more important so that electricity may be used more efficiently. A user may wantto know which devices are consuming electricity and how much they are consuming. For example, thisknowledge may enable the user to make adjustments to their usage to reduce waste or identify a devicethat is malfunctioning. In some instances, if a user would like to know how much electricity a device isusing, the user may install an electricity usage monitor at each individual outlet.
