I’ve put together a few SmartApps, mostly based on other contributions on this forum, that will log power meter data (watts and sometimes kwh) to various power monitoring services/graphing services - ThingSpeak, SmartEnergyGroups (SEG), PlottWatt. I’m using these with my Aeon HEMv1, but they would likely work with any device that reports it’s capability as being a power meter.
I’m still having accuracy issues with SEG but have given up on resolving for now. They supposedly accept data in “Wh” not “kWh”; so I’ve tried multiplying kWh by 1000 before posting, but that makes their cost calculation widgets highly inaccurate. I really wanted SEG to work because they have the best widgets, but alas, I’m tired of debugging the problem with no help.
ThingSpeak and PlottWatt appear to be pretty…
I keep it logging “in the background” as a sanity check for my influxdb logging. The service is better than thingspeak (IMHO) but it doesn’t do what it says it will, and figure out what runs in your house and how much electricity individual things use.
