RE: Problem with Current Cost unit

["Robert Chasmer" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got both the-owl system, and current cost for electricity
metering.
I got the owl system first and added current cost, since that interfaces
directly with sensibleheats webmanager that I use for my heating system.

I find that the electricity metering between them is consistently out my
a certain amount.  So right now owl is saying 997 watts and current cost
is show 921 watts.  They way I see it, is that these systems give an
approximation, which overtime is about right.

I don't know if my current cost system is reporting the correct
temperature, but it does go up and down :-).  Whats the best way to find
the *real* temperature.


Rob
P.S. Next up is approximate water usage and gas monitoring...
