GreenEye Home Monitoring Summary
Posted: Sat Jun 29, 2013 3:16 pm
Hi,
I've been using the GreenEye for about 6 months to monitor my electricity usage in my home here in upstate NY. I'm collecting data at 10 second intervals and storing it to a mySQL database using btmon running on a Windows XP box. I wrote a few Python scripts to do some post-processing and plotting of the data. I thought I'd share the highlights (PDF attached) in case others might be interested or it might spark some new thoughts on useful ways others have found to make the data useful. The mnemonics I've used for individual circuits are a little cryptic but hopefully still meaningful (e.g., SE = SouthEast, Out=Outlets, etc).
I'm planning to move to Nova Scotia Canada soon and I'll be taking the GreenEye with me. I like that aspect of portability and am looking forward to collecting some new data in a different location.
Enjoy!
Bob
