Hello, i'm new Apex 2016 owner and i wonder how i can see power usage in the control panell.

Does it have the eb8 or the eb832? I believe only the 832 is power monitoring capable.

As far as I know, the EB6 does not monitor power.

I believe the EB6 is like the EB8 and EB4 here in the states, it only monitors power usage on the entire EB6, not individual outlets. The method jsker described above is how you would go about seeing that data. I always used that tile as a quick check to see if i was seeing any power spikes during the hours when most things should be off. Other than that I did not find much use for it other than making sure I wasn't overloading the outlet the EB was plugged into.
