Alright, my next project will require that I measure low power consumption of certain devices. This is commonly called "Phantom Power" or "Vampire Power". Now, I can't afford really expensive power analyzers, so a compromise has to be made.
Would something like this suffice:

The thing I'm concerned about is accuracy here. Not sure how low of a wattage this will measure, but it comes with tracking software, which is perfect for what I need.
Any other solutions would be really appreciated before I get started.
