Hi everybody!
My idea is to monitor the power consumed in a house and plot the results in cosm.com
Searching in the web I found this page: openenergymonitor.org that basically is the same idea I had... (damn it, I thought I was original xD) So I decided to follow similar steps. Mi idea is:
-Sensor of current and Voltage connected to an ATMega328 who sends the information via RF to another device with RF receiver and ethernet so I can upload the info to cosm.com
Is this correct? or am I forgetting some step?
As I am going to do the final project during my stay in England (Erasmus from Spain) in the second semester, I would like to know if you think its an affordable project considering I do not know to much about RF and ethernet, but there is a lot of info in openenergymonitor website?
Thank you very much!
