[MVMA] How much power does it take to run a home mesh station?

[Lyle Steinhardt]

 Well,Chuck, 
That's very interesting.  So how much would it cost to invest in the same set of hardware?

   I don't remember the query at the last meeting, but
 I was to measure something some power consumption at home at with my kill-a-watt®.
 So, I plugged into my kill-a-watt a
    
   - UPS (950 VA)
   - 16 port switch
   - 8 port managed switch (GS108Ev2)
   - 2 foot LED shop light
   - RPi: nc8q-raspbx
   - RPi: nc8q-meshchat
   - NC8Q-M3-Kett (UBNT NanoStation M3)
   - NC8Q-M5-Kett (uTik LHG HP5 XL)
   - NC8Q-PBE-M5-400 (UBNT PowerBeam M5)
 
 After about 8 hours I checked the kill-a-watt and it displayed 26 watts
 and an estimate of $0.18 per month usage @ 8.5 cents/kWh.
 
  Now what was it I was supposed to measure?
