2 adults, 1 kid, belgium. One adult is always WFH (we alternate). Average of 13KWh per day. There is a server rack running in the basement though 24/7 but its optimized (nucs and rpis and no costly energy burning servers) and this rack alone accounts for 3-4 KWh per day (out of the 13)

We heat and cook using natural gas.

The biggest consumer are the same here. Dishwasher and laundry.



Also Home Assistant [0] with SlimmeLezer [1, or is this a Dutch thing?] and Shelly Plug S [2]? :)

All that stuff gives one great insights into what a kWh is (how much energy), where you use the most energy etc. I love it.
