No, a standard smart meter cannot directly identify which specific appliances you are using. It measures the total electricity consumption of your household.

If you had a suspicion that one appliance in particular was consuming a lot of energy, unplug it for a week and use your smart meter insights to see if there are any significant changes in your overall consumption.
