Kill A Watt Type Device?

[stryker43]

I am totally new to solar so I may be going about this the wrong way. I'm interested in knowing on average how many watts I use from a particular circuit in the break box.

In other words I would like to power particular room in my house that is on a circuit in my breaker box. I am in an out often so I'm not sure out of all the things in there off and on all the time what my daily usage is to begin to make a solar plan.

I was hoping there was something like Kill A Watt device that I could hook to the circuit in my break box and see how much energy is being used over the course each day to get an average.

Any advice is appreciated.

Look for something called TED (The Energy Detective)

Have you guys ever seen THESE?

Its a relay board for your pc.
You can program things and switch things automatically or over the internet.

I want one, but it's a ways off learning curve wise.
