My VM hub (in modem mode) draws about 12W, and my separate WiFi router takes about another 12W, but varies with demand. What else do you have using WiFi? Smart switches, video doorbells, cameras, then there's possibly a DECT telephone base unit, external PIR lighting, alarm system? What does the combi (and associated thermostat(s) etc draw? What is your typical average base load?I assume you mean 50Wh was used in the hour, so how sure are you that something drawing, say, 250W didn't kick in for a short time?Virgin MediaHUB 4 (TG3492LG-VMB)12W IDLE, 15.3W LOAD – 30W PSUHUB 5 (Sagemcom F3896LG-VMB)
13.49W IDLE, 15.51W LOAD – 36W PSU
HUB 5x
9.17W IDLE, 11.87W LOAD – 36W PSUSo there's something. Just repeat the switching off and read your meter, then check it again 30 minutes later until you can track it down.
Do you have an IHD that shows current load? It's fairly responsive for electricity if not useless for gas.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the In My Home MoneySaving, Energy and Techie Stuff boards.
