Has anyone seen, or does anyone have any ideas on how to make a module that will sense current, and let ST know the device is running, amount of power being used? Here is my concept/issue: I have a gas dryer, that has an auxiliary fan in the exhaust duct, since it is such a long run. The problem …

Glue/tape a z-wave/zigbee temperature sensor to the dryer exhaust. When the temp rises above a set parameter, turn on fan :smile:

Yes, you can use that to detect the power usage of the dryer and when it’s above a certain threshold you could use a second one to turn on and off your exhaust. At least thats how I understand your issue. Not bad for $60 total. -Allan

I ordered 2 and we’ll see what happens. Do I need to write custom code to get this to work, or is there a SmartApp that will work for this? Never did any of the programming yet . . . Dave

rule machine will do it for you. if switch 1 current >= X amount then turn on switch 2

OK, so I got the current sensor, and I’m playing around with Rule Machine. Question: Can I change how frequently the Aeon power sensors get updated by the Hub? When I start the dryer, there seems to be a pretty significant lag before ST recognizes that the Power level is above my setpoint (10 in …

I think I partially answered my question - the Pollster App. If anyone has any better suggestions, please let me know. Dave

look for Aeon HEMv2+ it lets you lower the poll to seconds

Matt: Thanks, I’ll try it, but I have a questions (that may be better asked on a different forum) In the Read Me file, it states pretty clearly that this DOES NOT WORK ON ANDROID. The problem is, I am using my Android phone (Galaxy S5) to run ST for now. My wife has an iPhone, but so far I haven…
