How do you like the watts-up meter?
I've been planning to put one of these on my system to monitor usage.

The name Richard Jones sticks in my head, but I'm not sure if that's correct. At any rate, I'm looking for that data. My refrigerator section is hovering at about 29°, but I'm afraid if I change the setting I would give up the ability of the freezer to freeze things. Yes, I realize at 29° I'm already going to freeze things, but this is also at an ambient temperature of about 68°. I think this is going to change once I get out into 80° temperatures later today. I just wanted to double check the data though.

This is the first time I've actually tested the fridge without any other accessories running, so thought I would pass that along.
