Just thought I would let everyone know about SteveQ's current sensor. It uses the CR magnetics current sensor with a small circuit he put together that attaches to a DS10a. I have 2 of them one on each of my freezers. The included script writes the on and off times to a file, so you can see how much time the units are on and calculate electricty usage, but you can also create an event that lets you know if the freezer (or other device/appliance) is either off or on for an extended period of time (i have the event set for 4 hours) I am then notified via TTS, Email and a phone call that I better go check the freezer for a malfunction (door ajar, circuit breaker tripped or an actual freezer malfunction)
Contact SteveQ for details, I plan on having him build several more for me. Great way to monitor all types of devices
