If you are just looking to monitor loads with the capability of having a relay contact open or close on a predetermined setpoint then you could cobble together a hard wired circuit using CR Magnetics current sensing relays. I believe the largest sensor relay unit is rated for 100A. See...

Paul, Where can I find the link with instructions to install the new firmware on my ECM-1240? Will

Brian, Tenholde's Homeseer plug-in does this for me. I have had my HS application down and PC off for a day at times and any accumulated KWH were retieved and updated once HS was re-started. I am not sure how much memory the 1240 has and how long it would retain the information though. Will

something more simple? http://www.smarthome.com/2512/Screw-In-Mot...r-Switch/p.aspx

Same here Ed. Thank you for your hard work. The server, plugin, and charting is working great! Will

UJ, Does it come with a serial port redirector software? I have both a lantronix and a silex serial to ethernet convertor and either work fine with the 1240. I redirected a com port to TCP-IP address, set serial port for 19,200, 8, N, 1 and it works great. Will

I do not use the etherbee but remember reading this early on in the forum. Maybe it will help? http://www.cocoontech.com/forums/index.php...st&p=110655

Glad you figured it out. You had me stumped. I also extended my CT's around 60' with no problem. I took actual load readings on Sunday and compared to what HS was reporting and was within 2%. Good enough for me. I also saved a extra CT on each of my 240V balanced loads by asking tenholde to...

UJ, Just a thought. Do you have more than one micro CT on one of those Aux channels? I found my polarity off when I had more than one CT on a channel and it reported more than actual on the 1240. I used an amprobe to obtain actual current draw on the circuits to straighten out the CT polarity...

mdiehl - how did you do it? I would like to use micro CT's on my Chan2 as well. A 20 ohm 1% resistor in parallel did not work for me. Will

Brian, The 200A split CTs are 2 inch OD

Brian, I built simple meter screens for each monitored load. See attached. Will

I use a serial to ethernet converter for mine. Can't tell the difference.

Brian, Tenholde's plug-in has been working great in it's beta stage since it was released a couple of weeks ago. Ed is adding more features to it weekly. I have been using with HS Touch and so far it is playing well together. I created meter graphics for each load monitored and use textboxes...

I upgraded my version of tenEcmServer and tenHSPlugin last night and woke up to this and quite a few of these errors today while working in homeseer, usually one right after another. If I exit the error it shuts down HS. So I have been clicking continue button. No harm, but it is starting to...

Doesn't matter, but if using summing CT's on one channel make sure the polarity is correct. The install of the split CT's are ideal if you have the main circuit breaker at the meter socket outside and CT install is in the main panel. With the Main off you can do your work safely enough in the...

I use chartdirector for charts and meters. I extract device values to create these meters triggering vb scripts that runs every minute. Sample of amps meter script below: Sub Main(parm as object) dim curValue,value,m dim cd as object cd = CreateObject("ChartDirector.API") curValue =...

I have a 1240. And I broke your plug-in already. :D I got it all setup, wrote scripts to total KWH and monthly cost, created nice graphs with chartdirector....then I just couldn't leave it well enough alone, I just had to change the Device Names for each channel to match the loads I am...

tenholde, Hats off to you! Great looking Beta. 1) Installation was a snap. 2) No problems. 3) Feature considerations: Track KWH device value Calculate and Track Monthly Power Cost Device Value config with rate. Reset 1st of the month. Trigger HS Event on exceedance. Thanks for your hard...

mdiehl, I recieved the extra micro-CT's today from my order on the 24th (post marked 4/3). Did you get your meter?
