[RE-wrenches] AC house monitoring

[Michael Welch]

Hi gang. Sharkey asked me to contribute this to the conversation:

It might be of interest to the Wrenches in this discussion to check out the Open Energy Monitor.

I was involved in the very early phase of this project, imparting some knowledge of how revenue-grade electronic Watthour meters operate. There are a lot of options and versions available, including three-phase monitors, etc. There are also several schemes for load diversion of PV power. It's all open source and under constant refinement. Don't know how the prices on the for-purchase units compare to some of what's been discussed so far, but it's another option...

>HI All. I've been getting a bunch of requests for better monitoring of AC circuits, and I want to be able to understand some peoples loads better as well. This is for a full house 120v  and  240v And individual circuits.  I don't need revenue grade. But looking for something that is easy to use, maybe blue tooth app, or digital display with memory ( day/week/month would be good) Could be internet connected but not a priority. I've seen some for $40-80.  There are so many out there I figure someone/s have got some faves.
