This software can parse data from CurrentCost electricity monitors by analyzing the source code. It is designed to retrieve information on energy consumption and usage patterns to help users monitor and reduce their electricity bills.
I recently had the opportunity to test out CurrentCost, a software library geared toward home electricity monitoring. As an open source solution, CurrentCost was not only free, but had an active user community continually developing and improving it.
One of the standout features of CurrentCost is its flexibility in terms of data access. Users can connect a serial cable to their electricity monitoring system and receive real-time data in an XML format. This allowed me to receive instant updates on my home energy usage, which was extremely useful in managing my energy consumption.
However, as someone who is not particularly tech-savvy, I appreciated that the CurrentCost project also made available code in multiple programming languages, including Perl, Python, and Java. This made it easy for me to parse the data I was collecting without having to learn a new language or rely on someone else to do it for me.
Overall, I would highly recommend CurrentCost as a home electricity monitoring solution. Its accessibility, flexibility, and active user community make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to track their energy usage and make more informed decisions about their consumption habits.
