Should I put my smart plugs into the consumption section or the individual devices section on the energy dashboard?

I think that individual devices section is a recent update because I don't remember seeing that when I configured this back in April. I think there was only the consumption section.

It's just an organizational thing. Just put them wherever makes sense to you.

It's really too bad I don't have a meter that I can read for the entire house because if I did I would totally put the meter there to get the whole home consumption and then put all the smart plugs under individual devices.
