Power
It would be good to understand the energy consumption used by each appliance. I have an adapter (British Gas) which gives me an overall reading and yes I could go round each appliance, turn it off and check, but just wondered if there is anything more ‘smart’ I can use
I know you can buy sockets to turn of/on appliances but I understand if I get some from lightwaveRF I also need to purchase their hub which would then interact with ST?
For the energy consumption you can install a Aeotec Energy metering system.

Or you have a smart meter from BG with a data port (P1)? On that port is our remote energy adapter installed. Look for a YouLess adapter to replace the BG adapter.
The data port on the electricity meter is on the picture is the RJ11 receptacle at lower right on the front.

You can buy smart outlets but there are also smart power plugs you plug into the outlet, to start with.

Much cheaper are the Neo CoolCam power plugs.
Hello guys! I’m waiting for the hub to arrive! I would like to take this plug! Neo coolman power plug
Do they work?
