Kindest,
I have the Current Cost EnviR setup and love it. Loved it even more when Google Powermeter was operational and find the current website lacking in functionality to really make it a viable analytics tool. Hence I have started to ponder a few options as I am redoing the electricty layout here where we live.
The options that I have pondered are:
(1) USB data logging device (2) MAC; connect the usb to the iMac (3) Small/micro pc connected with USB
I've not seen any reference to any use og USB data loggers with the USB cable. Has anyone done this? That it is not real time is ok as I never look at this in real time anyways... only occasionally.. and the display on the EnviR is more than sufficient for that. Hence sticking a USB data logger that can just store the USB data points for lets say a month or two.. then extract and analyze that retrospectively could work.
As for #2 and #3, they are doable I am guessing, but guarded wrt to #3 as that would require XP or Win7 installed, which will require me to aquire a license. All in all quite a costly implementation in comparison to #1.
Would love any feedback from anyone that has done this or even tried that.
Thanks in advance!
With respect, Jorgen
