hi, I have 4 GE's in my house, two by one panel, and 2 by another panel.
Is there any way that I can consolidate the data from the 4 units into one dashboard?

You can use BTMon.py, or post directly to SmartEnergyGroups.com to consolidate the data. If you're comfortable setting up XAMPP or something similar, I can send you a PHP-kit that can also work with multiple units.

Ben, yes, please send me the info.

What about dashbox, I see it has two serial ports, can it have two GE's connected?
And does dashbox have the ability to consolidate data from other GE's connected to other dashboxes?
When will dashbox be available for purchase?

You can do 2 GEMs, but anything higher then that is pushing it due to the hardware limitations in terms of logging every minute. Theoretically, you could set a limit on the log interval.. instead of logging every minute have it log every 3 minutes for example. We haven't tested more then 2 GEMs with a data logging limit however.

Send me an email, ben(at)brultech.com and I'll reply/attach the kit.
