Added feature to Engine Software
Version 2.24 of the Engine software now allows pulse counting from up to four devices.
New Integrated Packages Coming Soon.
The multi-device packages will now be available in a common enclosure. Among the new features are:
- A common synchronizing data line which prevents data collisions
- The XBee versions will share a common XBee module instead of requiring one for each device.
- No resistor installation required
- Tidy installation. The CT lead enter the bottom holes and the hinged enclosure door closes to conceal the devices.
Ben is nearing completion of a website development kit.
The development kit will allow the ECM-1240 user to re-configure the device to send HTTP post directly to a regular website using HTML and PHP script. This allows 24/7 monitoring without requiring a PC.

New Plug&Play Systems Coming Soon.
In an effort to provide a simple home monitoring solution, we have compiled a variety of plug and play systems. These systems will come with pre-formated monitors and will simply connect directly to an internet router with a gateway device (included). The preset configuration will forward data to Google PowerMeter™ for analysis of each device channel individually.
Upon request, we can preconfigure any of the P&P systems to send data diectly to other services such as:
- check-it.ca (subscription required)
- mysolarstats.com (specializing in PV and load monitoring)
