Great work with the perl version! :D Do you plan on supporting a serial interface? That was a secondary reason for pyecm, it works with both etherbee and the serial setup(on top of working in Linux/OSX). I would love to include PowerMeter and RRD support, but just havent had the time to...

Got a response from Google (from a real person). They're supposedly releasing their API in a matter of weeks. Hooray!

Is there any chance Google Powermeter support will be added to official Brultech software? While not much development has occurred lately with pyecm (there's really been no need), I've contacted Google to see if they will release access to the API much like wattzon has. I hope to have a...

Great job! This is a welcome addition to pyecm, especially for those that want a simple, local charting solution.

Works great. Had an issue with python 2.5, but 2.6 is no problem. https://www.wattzon.com/wattizen/moridin113...wermeters/graph (ironically had a power failure, and the command isn't in the rc.local yet... hence the span of time with no data) This plus a local RRD based graph is going to be...

As mentioned in this thread, kelvin has taken some basic python code i put together, and expanded to do more and support more hardware (along with making it more formal). He's done a great job, so check it out. The plan is to have the usual read and mysql support, but down the road perhaps...

I have not used the Etherbee, and I am not familiar with it. However LAN stands for Local Area Network, and in this context it means you should connect it to a switch (or an available port on your router). I am not familiar with the hardware and software of the etherbee, but you may need a...

I've updated the python script to write to a MySQL database. This code is still ugly, but functional. I have a cron job running to insert data into the db every 5 minutes, then use Open Flash Charts to display the data on a webpage. Louis, another forum member has a BSD app I may try...

haha, mine did too. :( I am in full agreement here. I can't find anything out there that does what the ECM-1240 does and does it well. I am very satisfied with everything but the lack of time I have to play with it. That's my problem though. :D

I had a couple of emails that went unanswered, and a couple that were answered promptly. When the 1240 was released I did not receive a shipping notice, so was a little perturbed. I ended up calling the phone number on their website and got a satisfactory response (turns out it was already...

This is great work! Exciting to see someone getting RRDtool and the ECM working!

So my ultimate goal is to use a Linux machine to store the ECM-1240 data, and that machine will not have a built-in serial port. After testing a few USB-serial adapters it looks like some work and some don't. brian@media-ub:~/ecm$ lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1...

Agreed. :P So looking at another recent thread... http://www.cocoontech.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13086 ...this may be something similar to what you'll want, especially as Cacti supports Windows. My point is though, is that as time goes on you'll hopefully see things move more from DIY...

Depends what you mean by "get the info out". Are you interested in just displaying usage on a Windows machine? Then the software Brultech provides will likely be good enough. If you want it logged and stored somewhere, you will have to deal with one of the "homebrew" apps that allow you to...

Very nice. HS + plugins are pricey enough as it is... :( A free plugin is more than welcome. ^_^ In other news, I have update ecmread.py to now read Volts, Ch1&2 Watts, Polar Watts, Amps, and the 5 Aux channels. I believe it's accurate, but I only have Aux1 in use. So if anyone has a...
