How are you guys monitoring energy usage? I have a kill-a-watt on my D3 (120v) currently, but I'm adding a 240v circuit and will be using a PDU when my 2nd D3 gets in, but I'm not sure if there is an energy monitor I can get that plugs into the PDU.
So, are all of you that are quoting your wattage using 120v and using a kill-a-watt, or is anyone on 240v? If so, how are you monitoring the wattage?
thanks

Just ordered this, says it's good to 240v for $17. I'll use them for timers after checking out the D3 usage. My kill a watt says only 120v, not trying that

I'm not sure how you're going to plug that into a 6-anything outlet... must have adapters or something?
I can confirm those Zettaguard units (and the HomeMate App) also work great on 220-240v@60hz (US). The packaging says nothing about 240v, so it was a bit scary the first time I powered on. But yes, adapters may be required if you order the US versions. I think their internals don't vary for the international versions... hence why they work across standards. Not sure about 50hz countries though.
I preferred all my 240v stuff be L6-20 or L6-30, but these guys made me build an inline adapter to Edison so I can selectively monitor 240v.
Do note that they are still rated for 15A, which may be below what your 240v PDU outputs are rated for. Max 2 D3s per Zettaguard at 240v, 1 each would probably be safer unless you are using 2400+w server supplies and have no choice.
