io_guy Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yep, two weeks into testing my setup and I get that email. Price is way too high for me to justify. Time to work on a local solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitartexan Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I got that email too. We are cheering for you! GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
io_guy Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm thinking this could be a good option: http://emoncms.org/ I don't have much time to play for another month or so, but getting the GEM data to it would be trivial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWareman Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm thinking this could be a good option: http://emoncms.org/ I don't have much time to play for another month or so, but getting the GEM data to it would be trivial. That's cool! I like you can have them host, install yourself to shared hosting or host at home. It seems the only real trick is going to be getting the data in (SEG is natively built into the GEM and the Dashbox as export formats). I'm going to install it on my shared hosting and see where it goes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
io_guy Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 So, a teaser for SEG users. Emoncms seems to be a great option. It can be installed locally or can use their cloud service. The images below are a quick dashboard sample I created in about 2 minutes. A local install can be created on a Raspberry Pi - they even have an SD card image ready to go.

MWareman Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Are you using btmon.py as a bridge? If so, is it possible to share your config for this (minus the secrets of course!) If not, how did you configure the GEM to send the data? Or is it option 3 - another fantastic io_guy addition to the node server in progress?

io_guy Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Option 3. I hope to have a test release out in a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott847 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The Smart Energy Groups website appears to have either failed completely or was shut down shortly before noon Chicago time yesterday. Connections are currently timing out to www.smartenergygroups.com. Does anyone know what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott847 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 The Smart Energy Groups website appears to have either failed completely or was shut down shortly before noon Chicago time yesterday. Connections are currently timing out to www.smartenergygroups.com. Does anyone know what happened? SEG came back online around 7pm Chicago time today - not sure why it was down about 31 hours. Anyway, in their forum there's an active discussion of the new pricing plan at https://smartenergygroups.com/forums/11/topics/393?page=1 They also adjusted pricing in response to feedback and sounds like it's possible pricing will be adjusted further. Pricing is at https://smartenergygroups.com/pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
io_guy Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Been pumping my data to Emoncms for the last 2 days. Working great, I found it easier to use than SEG. I'll eventually install it locally on my Synology to ditch the cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xathros Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Been pumping my data to Emoncms for the last 2 days. Working great, I found it easier to use than SEG. I'll eventually install it locally on my Synology to ditch the cloud. Could you shed some light on what a network resource rule to post to this would look like. Got this installed on one of my Pi's but having trouble getting my data into emoncms from the ISY. Just can't figure out the resource syntax... Thanks. -Xathros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
io_guy Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 No idea, don't know if it would work. I'm sending my data via my NodeLink program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xathros Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 No idea, don't know if it would work. I'm sending my data via my NodeLink program. Well, was just gonna say, never mind! I got it working. It's just a simple GET with everything on the URL line. Now I just gotta wrap my head around nodes, inputs, feeds , schedules and how they all interact... I DO have my Living Room temp graphed on the dashboard with a Live Data widget as a POC so I know it works! Thanks for pointing me at emoncms. Looks like it will be valuable addition to my setup. -Xathros Is Nodelink available yet or still in private testing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelfm Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Xanthros, Would you mind sharing more detail about geting your data from GEM into Emoncms? Thanks, Rebelfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xathros Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Xanthros, Would you mind sharing more detail about geting your data from GEM into Emoncms? Thanks, Rebelfm Sorry, I don't have a GEM. Just pulling data from various ZWave energy meters, multi sensors, WebControl board with temp sensors and the climate module. -Xathros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyto Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Xanthros, Would you mind sharing more detail about geting your data from GEM into Emoncms? Thanks, Rebelfm Easiest way is to use nodelink app - this has option to send GEM data to emoncms - http://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/113-nodelink/ alternatively if you want more customization use btmon.py - you will find huge thread on the brultech forums to do that.
