is it a bad idea to get a whole lot of smart plugs to plug into every power socket in the apartment to measure electricity use in a lot of detail?

@sammy potential things to take into consideration:
• power consumption of the smart plugs themselves
• cloud or local only?
• build quality / fire hazard
• convenience – plugging things in and out may become ever so slightly more annoying (for example, things that need to plugged in and out on a regular basis, say, the vacuum)

This list is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.

@sanity @sammy in my experience smart plugs don't take that much power somehow? maybe there's some trickery going on but I had two of them on my meter and both showed 0 while off, and readings while on, weren't all that different from when there's no plug in the middle
