In case you’re wondering, the AC unit in our bedroom costs $0.16/hour. The living room costs $0.50/hour.
My wife is trying to make me stop. She says it’s annoying.

Let me introduce you to https://sense.com/ and help you create a new obsession.
P.s. it’s not perfect as it uses machine learning to determine your appliances and it can’t find electronics like your computer or TV but it’ll help you find what might be chipping away at your power bill.
Cool product!
Can you post some screenshots of what it looks like with your usage?

I would love to see it in action.

I went with Emporia Vue because you can flash it with ESPHome and get rid of all the cloudware and have it connect to HomeAssistant locally.
This is what mine looks like after install:
And some screenshots from HA:

So, OP, just show your wife what I did, and let her know, it could be much worse, :D.
Thanks for that. I’ve been kinda-sorta keeping an eye out for a good solution for this. My house has three main panels (it’s set up for subletting) so solutions like Sense won’t work well, plus I don’t want it to be dependent on a cloud service. I’ll check out this product.
If you go this route, there are a bunch of videos on YouTube about it too that are quite helpful, just search emporia vue esphome and emporia vue homeassistant.
This is the one that I found most helpful to follow for the flashing process: https://youtu.be/z0Jv4nO9OWg?t=956
