It would be very useful to see how that looked on a graph.

We do have a local underground weather station (1/3 mile from here) that is a great data source for outside temperatures.
But, I no longer track the day to day Sanyo power use. I'm more focused
on using my own weather sensors and power monitors for use in
real-time trouble shooting of problems as they arise.
As of this week, I can see the power use of both Sanyos in realtime.
I found it very interesting to see the Sanyos do a power ramp-up in stereo.
The power steps and their timing was almost identical.
Now, I'm seeing how much we are paying to heat the den..
(With all it's leaky windows).
Last night the Den Sanyo was on for 1 extra hour, and the LR gets solar gain,
but the difference in the readings this afternoon, are still troubling.
Den=4.8kWh LR=1.9kWh.
I'm going to check out the difference during the next over-cast cold day..
