If I change the rate on my onfig screen, the rate is properlly reflected in the device that displays the rate.

Did you try the software? It comes with a 30 day trial. I've had no issues with it as long as you replace your database every 6 or 8 months as it can get really large and slow as time progresses.

Actually, you might be able to use it for other hardware, I will make a change that will allow it to continue to update if the comport is 0. Also, I will add an API call that will allow you to log the data. You can also log the data yourself (if you need to do it from a seperate app or plugin). Just append data to the currentcosthistory.txt file in the HS config folder, add a line like:

6/19/2010 5:10:12 PM,0,5712

The format is:

Date Time,sensor,watts

I have a script which runs every 5 minutes and adds a line to the currentcosthistory.txt file.
The file keeps growing, but as far as I can see it never is added to the database. When I restart HS the data is collected form the currentcosthistory.txt file and added to the database and the currentcosthistory.txt file is cleared.

Couple of questions.(also see images below)
1. When and how is the data from the currentcosthistory.txt file processed?
2. Now I run my script to add data to the currentcosthistory.txt file every 5 minutes, is this okay or do I need to increase the reoccurrence?
3. The charts don't look okay to me. The "last hour" chart is sort of corrupted and the "Today vs Yesterday" chart has only spikes.

Any help is more than welcome.

Thanks in advance,
