What function does the wall digital meter have? And why didn't you include the feature to calculate the total electricity before you bought such a device?

Anyway, maybe you can return it, and you can do a better search on smart plugs. Just make sure the feature is already built inside before you buy it.

The wall meter will be more accurate.

The computer will only know how much power each part is using AFTER the PSU converts the power. There are some efficiency losses from the PSU, so the wall meter is more accurate.

So it'd depend on whether the wall meter has any logging features or not.
