Tracking data usage by device

How can I track data use by device via my router. I recently installed some cameras, a doorbell, and some other IoT devices, and starting to get close to my data cap. I want to see both down and up traffic summaries on a daily/weekly/monthly basis by device.

My month of February lists 9GB data usage, and it was only 7:AM. No one is up, except for me and only the TV is on! 9GB for watching TV channels, and 'm not on Netflix or Hulu.

Some home security systems upload to their servers,  If you have cameras, this could account for the data.  If your dorbell is a Ring doorbell, it also uplads to their servers.  Not sure of what 'IoT" devices you have.  You could try disconnecting them all, then plugging them in one at a time, leaving an hour between devices, and track usage that way.
