Great question! I wondered the same thing after setting up my smart plugs and leaving my electric heated under blanket on standby for those chilly nights. Turns out, most smart devices sip very little power in idle mode—we’re talking pennies a month!
For example:
Smart bulbs/speakers: ~1-2W when "off" (barely a blip on your bill).
Always-on hubs (like Alexa): ~3-5W (still minimal).
Your cozy electric heated under blanket? Now that’s a power hog if left on—always unplug it after use!
TL;DR: Smart gadgets add maybe $1-$5/year in "vampire energy," but real savings come from automating lights/thermostats. Just don’t ghost your electric heated under blanket—it’ll haunt your bill!
