I have setup 1-wire electricity monitoring that is shown on jon00's site. Also have 1-wire temperature sensors in each room, on the feed return of the solar panel and top bottom of hot water cylinder. Just got to get the circuit built for gas monitoring. Check out http://board.homeseer.com there are a few thread's about electricity monitoring. |

I think the netherlands site is really interesting it has gas, water and electricity useage and all
visible on a website with graphing.
You should not need an electrisave since you can count the pulses from a modern meter.
Unfortunately I've got a load of sensors but no time..... I was going to assemble a 1-wire system for my SLUG
too bad no time to set up OWW.....!
Maplin currently have an offer for a weather system that has a PC connection... probably worth a punt... don't
know if it would work with Linux

I'm being a bit dumb tonight but I haven't found it yet. Have you got the part number, please? Thanks, Dave |

I got quite excited by their products pages "Wall switches and plug-in modules to control incandescent and fluorescent lights around the home". But I couldn't see any dimmers for fluorescents when I clicked through. And their software is Windows-only  Oh well, Dave |

Wow - that guy has spent a scary amount of time and money monitoring his entire house.
I was just thinking yesterday that I really wanted to monitor gas usage as part of my 1-wire net and I had no idea how to do it, so that is a most timely link. I wonder if my meter has a reflective bit on one of the dials? I'm not totaly convinced that an MK120 receiver and a TAI counter is the optimum way to make a 1-wire LED counter (about 40 quid delivered), and suspect that a simpler flashing-LED counter could be devised.
My 1-wire efforts are progressing slowly. I ordered a pile of cables and connectors on friday and have half-built an I2C to 8-channel 1-wire interface board, and started working out what runes and modules I need to drive it from a Balloon board, so hopefully I'll be able to do boring temp monitoring with a few more evenings dicking-about.
