Re: How to see peak loads over a long period?
Just updated to 4c13. The data looks correct now (and is hinting August is going to be a dismal consumption month), though the titling is still missing.
Thanks for your work, Ben!

Half hour isn't in the release, it's possible via query but I'm not sure if it'll be possible to chart it monthly as you'd need to comb thru a month of minute data. Messing around with it a bit.
I'll see if I can code it into an export function for now.

Appended an export function into 4.2.4c13
http://brultech.com/software/files/down ... 2_4c13.img
- Channel ID can be gotten from the Channels page, it'll be in your address bar under "c1="
- Date is Year-Month, 2022-08 for example for this month.
- Type is either 0 - Every Minite, 1 - Every Hour, 2 - Every Half Hour
The end link will look something like:
http://brultech.com/software/files/down ... 2_4c13.img
Code: Select all

- Date is Year-Month, 2022-08 for example for this month.
- Type is either 0 - Every Minite, 1 - Every Hour, 2 - Every Half Hour
The end link will look something like:

I am getting "invalid file type" when I attempt to install

What F/W are you currently running? If you're still at a19 you need to install the 4.2.4b updater then install it.

i am an 4C13
the download link you provided in the forum doesnt work
I tried re-downloading from the software site and file is slightly bigger than original 4c13 but errors out

I re-uploaded as 4.2.4c14 as Microsoft Defender was false-flagging it.

Re: How to see peak loads over a long period?
I am looking to find peak load, but I want to apply it to a group vs. an actual channel, and that seems to be broken.
My use case is similar to the OP, the difference is, I am looking to install backup power only for select 'critical load' circuits, not the entire panel. I want to know the peak usage of these critical circuits before I rearrange my breaker panels.
A 'nice to have' would be to find peak amps too for breaker sizing. I don't have too many reactive loads, so I can use peak watts to approximate peak amps, but an actual measurement I can use would be nice. I do remember seeing VA somewhere as an available unit, and this could work, but I don't remember where that was.
