I'm a homeseer user (newbie to HS, long time X10 user) and expanding my system. I want to measure my AC power, natural gas, and water consumption. Since I have Bert's RFX dual band (310/433 MHz) receiver I was thinking of using his RFXMeter product to monitor my 3 utilities.
The problem I'm having is that it seems this is mostly a European centric product. I've not found anyone who is using it in the US for this purpose. I've posted questions on the Homeseer forum in a couple places and no-one has stated their using it. So here are a few questions for anyone here who might have some advice for me.
1) How do you measure your AC, gas, and water utilities? Gas and water seem to be the hardest.
2) Is anyone using the RFXMeter product in the US (California to be more precise)?
3) What sensors are you using?
4) I may have to add a special water meter in my garage since my utility's meter is at my curb. Any recommendations on what to use?
Thanks in advance.
