Hello,
I've been working on a simple project with Arduino. I integrated a current sensor and now I can know how much Amps any device is consuming. Also, I made a platform to graph the current consumption. Although, I am a bit confused on how can I measure the consumption over time and be trustworthy information so at the end it is the same information as the bill you get for your electrical usage, or at least very close.
Is it just by making a lot of samples per second and adding them up?
For example: getting 100 samples per second, add them, and graph the sum of the samples?
If so, how many samples per second is reliable?
Thank you in advance.
