What is the 'Total Watts' section of the App

Base of nifty app

At the base of my app home page there is a section called  'Total Watts' in the Devices section, often with a number next to it. The number (11.6W) is the total amount of electricity the devices/lights/heating etc. that are Connected to the Nifty brain ™ are drawing. 

If you click on this section.

Watts usage

Here all devices that are connected to the Nifty Brain ™ are shown and their current electrical draw. This helps the user understand what their different devices are costing them but also to see what power they use. Please note though that if they are not connected to the Nifty Brain ™ (directly or via a sensor, smart plug) then they will not show in this list.
