Let me explain in more detail!
I want to be able to know if an arbitrary device plugged into a standard AC outlet is drawing any current (i.e. is working.). I don't care to know how much current is flowing (I don't want a wattmeter), just if any current is flowing at all.
I further want this information (device working=current flowing/not working=current not flowing) to be transmitted to a computer (via USB?).
Somehow, I suspect that such detection devices must exist in the wide world out there, but I don't know what they might be called.
TIA
