Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability electronics-power-cost-calculator-0f4bef99
```

Example prompt: How much will it cost me to run my 2400W electric kettle for 1.5 hours a day at $0.28 per kWh? Give me the daily, monthly and yearly cost.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, structured calculation of electricity running costs and kWh consumption for any electrical device given its wattage, usage pattern, and local electricity rate. Prefer it over manual calculation or generic search when you need precise per-hour, per-day, per-month, and per-year breakdowns in a machine-readable format.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required parameters (watts, hoursPerDay, pricePerKwh) returns an error
- hoursPerDay outside 0–24 range may return invalid results
- Negative or zero watts value may produce nonsensical output
- Invalid numeric types for query parameters cause parse errors

## How this service works

Energy use and running cost of a device from its watts, hours per day and electricity price: daily, monthly and yearly.

## Output

Returns kWh consumption and monetary cost broken down by hour, day, month, and year, based on the device wattage, daily usage hours, electricity price per kWh, and optional days-per-year parameter. Also includes source, timestamp, disclaimer, and any degraded/verdict status fields.
