Does "Energy" view do anything?

[Dave W]

Does the "Energy View" do anything in an X10 only system? I'm referring to "Energy" under VIEW dropdown on the Device Management (home) page. When setting up my X10 devices, I see no way to assign wattages to the devices so what does the Energy View do? Is this something that only works for Z-Wave devices?
Thanks

I am not aware of any X10 devices that report the power consumption of the connected load, so I am assuming this is only for newer technologies such as Z-wave (and ZigBee?).

For Z-Wave devices that report energy metrics it works. I don't know about how well it works for Insteon devices. I'm not aware of any X10 classic that report energy.

Old topic. But if one cold assign a wattage (the load) to each X10 device then energy use could be calculated. I will suggest to rjh.
