Trying to find a system that will allow me to monitor my electricity consumption for the house & garage (separately) and gas. For the gas I have a Schroeder G4 meter which needs a hall effect sensor.
I want to be able to log the data, perform real time updates to a web based "dashboard" such as Cosm/Pachube and display monthly usage graphs on the hand held unit for each channel used.So far I have been looking at:
Current Cost: Envir with (maybe) optismart + additional CT + Gas sensor This almost achieves what I want except that the HHU display is very limited.
Smartometer: Does energy & gas and displays a monthly graph but can not tell if it shows separate graphs for each channel. I have not been able to find out if it can be networked.
OpenEnergyMonitor: Looks like fun and because it's open I could get it to do anything I want. However, I get the feeling that I would be endlessly tinkering with hardware & code instead of tinkering with data.
Any suggestions?
