RFXCOM plugin with energy monitor

Hi,

I have successfully installed the RFXrec433 USB Receiver with the RFXCOM in Indigo and I am now able to see events in the event log in debug mode. I see the following events:

From that list the only device that's mine is the last one, the other 4 must be my neighbours. Questions:

1) Should I filter out the devices that are not mine?
2) How do I add a device in Indigo for the last energy usage monitor so I can see the energy usage in a device?

Thanks!

Anyone? How can I get variables and triggers working on these devices?

have you defined a device for this monitor?

if so you can trigger on a device / state change , just add a trigger:

then set conditions

(the script is in apple script only)

then in action do what ever you like to do.

if you need more help just post.

have you defined a device for this monitor?

Hi Karl, no I have not defined a device since I am not sure how to do that. That's where I am stuck basically.

Never mind, just figured it out! I just needed to add a new ELECT2 Energy Usage Sensor and use the ID shown in the logs (Energy Usage sensor 52850). Thanks for the help anyway.

Does anyone know if the EnVir current Cost monitor use the same protocols or if the RFX433 plugin can use the protocols that this device employs? This seems to be the only one that I can find ($120 to monitor 3 channels) and I am unsure if the plugin for Indigo 5 mentioned in the forum from 3 years ago is available or has been updated to work with Indigo 6.

ENVIR is not supported by the RFXCOM.

The OWL sensors are supported, for example:

add up to 3 sensors:
