Brultech ECM-1240 myEnerSave Data Uploader

[Verohomie]

Hi All -

In response to Google PowerMeter going away, I modified existing Python code to POST data to myEnerSave. It works!

I am new to Python and need help adding a GUI and support for many ECMs. Please contact me to take it to the next level.

This code receives ECM-1240 data via RS-232. You will need to change your Token on line 271. The code works on Python 2.6. I also have a TCP/IP version available.

The code is at: http://code.google.com/p/ecm2myenersave/source/browse/myEnerSave.py

Put both of these up on http://code.google.com and post the linky.

It might be nice to combine both of these programs into one, and use command line options to enable logging to each service. Looking at both of those, I'm still not very impressed with the options for online data analysis. There's Pachube, but when I last looked at it a long time ago, I wasn't impressed there either.

Ultimately, I think that if you need to run a machine to log this stuff, you might as well log to an RRD file. A 1.5MB RRD file that takes in data every second will store like 8 years of data, and there are some AWESOME graphing and data analysis programs out there that will work with it.

I recently uploaded a GUI based PC program to upload ECM-1240 data to myEnerSave. It is on Brultech's web site.
I agree that there should be 1 unified "Uploader".

My job has me on the road 150 - 200 days a year. Google PowerMeter was a convenient tool to look at home consumption. I liked it best because it would display correctly on the iPhone.

Ultimately I would like my data in an app like http://peoplepowerco.com/mobile/

Regarding RRD, it looks very cool. Need more time to digest.

Thanks for the reply.
