Audit Appliance Standby Watt-Hours Against a Budget
Standby loads are tiny individually and noisy in aggregate. Multiply each appliance’s standby watts by its standby hours and watch the running daily total cross the budget you set.
1 · appliance | standby watts | standby hours per day

Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the standby load strip: your appliance | standby watts | standby hours per day stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: The point is the budget and the habit; the meter is for the rows you cannot otherwise estimate. After: the standby load strip shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
2 · Read the standby load strip
Standby arithmetic on the wattages and hours you supply. Not an energy audit, tariff comparison or savings guarantee; confirm safe switch-off practice for each appliance with its manufacturer, and never power down life-safety or medical equipment to meet a budget.

Boundary and sources
Standby arithmetic on the wattages and hours you supply. Not an energy audit, tariff comparison or savings guarantee; confirm safe switch-off practice for each appliance with its manufacturer, and never power down life-safety or medical equipment to meet a budget.
- Method: Hours the device sits idle on an average day. Sixteen hours of standby for a console used for eight is a fair split.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.

Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this standby load strip, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a standby load strip. Return plain rows only: appliance | standby watts | standby hours per day. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: appliance | standby watts | standby hours per day. No AI response is executed as code.
