SmartThings Energy Monitor...why not Cloud to Cloud with Sense and Emporia

Call this a feature request.

I was messing around in the application and noticed under the Life section there was a section available called “Energy”. I read up on it. Apparently you need either appliances that use it or a UK Electrical meter and in the United States Ameren gets really touchy when you go playing around with their meters and try to replace them. Don’t ask me how I know…

Anyway, for several reasons, I could think a cloud to cloud integration with Sense and Emporia would be perfect for this app.

In addition, if there were a way to allow SmartThings to report when devices turn on or off, that could help those environments better detect devices and accurately report their energy usage.

Again, a feature suggestion.

[OBSOLETE] Sense Energy Monitor

This SmartApp integrates Sense Energy Monitor devices into SmartThings. It requires running a node server on the same LAN as your hub to actually maintain the real-time connection with Sense. Once the connection is set up, the SmartApp will automatically create devices in SmartThings matching your devices in Sense. A few ways you can use this: Trigger various automations based on Sense devices turning on or off (or by changes in usage amounts) Initiate SmartThings push notifications when Sense devices turn on or off (and restrict notifications to certain modes). Delay push notifications by X minutes to ensure that device really is off. (Example: only notify that the dryer is off if it’s stayed off for at least 15 minutes) Show your Sense usage (individual devices and total usa…
