Home Energy Meter 2 Clamp AEO_DSB09104

Thanks @SecureComp. So none of the 4 views show a proper graph of the power usage over time? If that's the case, can I assume that it wouldn't work on rules either ?

The LCD User Interface shows correct data but it is a snapshot, no graph of data points over time.

Would be very easy to create a graph using date from the logfile and display it with the local webserver. Modifying thre Android or IOS app would be straight forward as well. Just time.

I can wrie a little script that would allow you to input the device ID and it would grab all the power readings/time stamps and do something with them. Copy them, format them for display on a webserver or whatever.

There is nothing included in the Ruleset for Power Meters.

Not even sure what I would do with it if it was there?

See my post about Rules especially the "For" request. I am just trying to find ways of eliminating wastage. I have an electric water heater. If someone has left water turned on in a bathroom then that will be drawing power for a long period of time. Hypothetically, after seeing what our regular pattern is, I am thinking if i create a rule that turns on the siren when it exceeds a certain wattage for a sustained period of time.

Do you think this is a valid scenario or am I thinking too much :-)

I won't accuse you of thinking too much. Not sure I'd want a siren kicking off, maybe flash a couple lights or make a Hue light flash a couple different colors.

This would be beyond the scope of a Ruleset imho. But pretty easy to do watching the log files and writing a script.

Really I would think you would be watching at the appliance level for most of it, water pump, heater, ac can be monitored at the breaker or inline.  But yes, you can monitor whole house, develop a profile and action when there is an exception to the profile.
