Hi,
Hope this is the right place to post this but this product has got me a bit excited so wanted to start a discussion on this.
I have been searching for a way to tell when my lights are switched on in individual rooms as I am using LightwaveRF switches as they look nice, but they do not report their state.
I have also been looking for a way to tell when people are actually in certain rooms based on whether their TV is on which i use Fing Scanner for but the TV stays pingable for a long time when it is put in standby.
I may have found an epic solution. It is a product called Smappee. It is able to 'learn" which electrical device is which and report its power consumption. I checked and it has an API and from what i can see you can query this info via http requests.
Product: http://www.smappee.com/uk/
API: https://smappee.atlassian.net/wiki/disp ... evAPI+Home
Now i am not a dev in any way so I will need some help to create a way to get this info per applianceID into Indigo, ideally this would show as a device with its power consumption next to each device but having it just write the value of each appliances consumption into a unique Variable (like fingscan) would do the job also.
I am going to buy one of these even though they are quite expensive even if it is not possible to get the data i want via the API as it is damn useful as a stand alone device anyway but to integrate this into Indigo opens so many possibilities.
Anyone have any experience with this device or anything like it (the closest thing i have ever found before was the Brultech device but not available in the UK and needs many sensors not just 1)?
