RFXCOM charts in Homeseer

Post by **b_weijenberg** » Sat May 12, 2007 3:55 pm

Free charting software for Homeseer is available at the download page of http://www.rfxcom.com/index.htm

The charting software automatically creates charts for all RFXCOM sensors (RFXPower, RFXMeter and RFXSensor) configured in the ACRF plug-in.
The script for sampling the sensor data is written in VB.NET and the web pages are ASP.NET pages.
To create the charts the free version of ChartDirector from http://www.advsofteng.com/ is used.

Hmm chartdirector also work with perl pretty easy, if only you had a perl example online. That would be nice though..

Download the Perl version and check if there are samples for Perl in it!
I think there are

Bert,

I have the correct settings in the ini file.
For the normal weekdays it's working fine.
Is there a possibility to add the weekends for alternativecharge?
Most of my usage is in the weekend..

[RFXPower]
StandardCharge = 0,2038
AlternativeCharge = 0,1497
Start = 23:00:00
End = 06:59:59

Enver,

I will put this on my to-do list.
It will take some weeks I think because I have a lot of work to do coming weeks.

Bert

P.S. 400W/Hr during the night is about the same as I have.

That will be great Bert..

My goal for the coming months is reduce the night time usage with 30%
25% of this is MCE suspend.

Enver

Chak do you mean Windows Media Center?

Post by **TANE** » Sat Jun 30, 2007 10:30 pm

Yep Windows Media Center

I have S3 suspend mode...this is working fine but wakeup is not working well.
System is running 24h
I use AMD cool and quit..this is helping a bit to reduce the power conception

yesterday i found a new application what can help configure the suspend mode.

Right, that is not so good. I have also mediacenter and I have a bit of the same problem. I hate it that the programguide is updating when ever it wants and starting up de device. And then sometimes it's not shutting down properly [:(!] I have Ultimate Vista now for installing on the mediacenter hope it's gone then or I can set a view parameters.

Vista is also having the same problems ..

hope it will work a bit better.

My next MCE will be a very low power consuming device.

Do you use Digital receivers for you MCE?
like the FireDTV

No I have a double analog tuner, not so good. I use the device mainly for all the movies I download. I hardly record from television.
My friend has one with a double cable digital receiver.
