C-Bus now does energy monitoring...



Just thought I'd mention that the newly released v4.8  C-Bus PICED
software includes a feature to connect KWHr pulse output meters via
C-Bus couplers or Aux input units directly onto C-Bus.  Then within the
PICED software you can display your current energy consumption levels on
any of the supported display devices.  Those using Wiser can easily
create realtime dials and graphs of energy usage too (Flash).  Just
playing using some of the UKHA bulk buy DIN meters  ...and seems to work
well.  You can support any pulse type metering  system e.g. gas ,
water.   Count accumulation is not directly implemented but can be added
with script logic.

PS.. Anticipating a question from a certain C-Bus user ;-) .....No,
DLT's are not PICED supported display devices and the timing
calculations are implemented within the Wiser / C-Touch units - not sure
about PAC - so you would need one of these anyway, and then PICED logic
does support DLT label updates.
