Weird question, but i just finished moving my loud personal space heater (aka my aquarium chiller) outside.
I have the plug for it ran through the wall into the house and plugged into an outlet.

My question is, now that the noise and heat from the chiller is outside, i cant tell when and how often its running.

I was curious if anyone knew of a way to tell when and how long it runs for?
Sort of like a plug timer that could show how when it kicked on and the duration of time it ran for before turning back off
I have a killawatt meter, and that kind of works but not exactly.

Even a plug that just lights up when a larger load is applied would work for me.

Any ideas?
 
Not currently on this tank.
Will hopefully have one in the near future
 
An apex or you can get a kill a watt energy monitor, I think one costs around $20 on amazon
