Well we did spot that SWMBO'd had left the iron on but not by the
(CurrentCost not smart meter) real time display but from the ploted
power use graph from the logged data.

The iron being intermiitent and not overly large isn't that obvious
on the real time display. When I started watching the display after
seeing the plot (where it was very obvious) it was several minutes
before I saw it come on and then it was only on for 30s or so.
