Some sort of [smart meter?](https://www.electricireland.ie/smart-meters)
There are devices you can clamp around the mains near the fuse board and they broadcast data on usage.

I think you’re looking for something called a Home Energy Kit that can apparently be borrowed from a library. I’ve never done this but it seems interesting

**The Owl** is a great model, a transmitter at the meter box and a receiver wherever yo want to see it, say in the kitchen…One version with a USB to download the readings and play with the data on Excel and one version without USB…
