Computer Peripherals Power Consumption

This web page documents a variety of computer peripherals and their power usage. Computers are now an essential part of our homes. You can take a look at these measurements to get an idea how much electricity your devices are using.

The measurements are taken using an electricity usage measurement device, such as a "Kill A Watt" (see "Related Links" below). If you measure the electricity usage of your automation devices, please update this page and add it to the list below.
