I would like to buy a Mac put at home. Turning on 24/7 stand by for me to able to remote control it. I do not need it to be powerful. Just need it to be consuming the least energy. Which mac should I buy?

Anyone made a table to list out all the mac power consumption at idle? Does that list exist over the internet?
 
The 2014 i5 Mac Mini can be as low as 6 watts idle.

I have about a dozen of these, every computer I have across half a dozen locations all stay on 24/7 so that I can remote in at any time from wherever I am from any device I have with me.
