All,
I finally have my Homeseer and Elk M1G system to a point where things are pretty darn reliable. That leads me to the next step I wanted try, which is tracking, logging and maintaining over time a record of how long each device in the system (I use Insteon for lighting, plus an X10 thermostat) has been ON. I think this would be very useful for figuring out the biggest energy users in the house, planning for backup power systems, reminding family members to turn off lights, and even figuring out the approximate cost to power a particular circuit.
Unfortunately, I'm beyond ignorant when it comes to scripting / coding or databases. I'm trying to learn, but the need to earn a living keeps getting in the way. So, I'm wondering if anyone on the board has developed something that they might want to share? A couple of the users on Homeseer have posted ideas there, but I figured I'd open the idea up to the cocoontech world as well...
Any ideas / scripts / etc., appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
