Ordered two ECM-1240s yesterday so I'm excited to get them and use the plugin. I've been a long time TED user with the Homeseer plugin, but decided I need a much more granular view of how I'm using power.
We are a pretty big consumer of electricity in our house and I can't figure out why. We average about 1900KWH per month in our 3000 Square Foot house and I think that is far too high. Our big consumers of electricity are two AC units and a Hot Tub, but even with these draws, our usage still seems high. We have three computers on 24x7 for Homeseer, our Video Camera Server, and a Media Center. We also have an electric floor heater in our bathroom but I turned that off when we got the hot tub to help offset the amount of electricty we use.
We will be monitoring the main panel (200AMP) and a subpanel (100AMP) along with the Hot Tub, AC Units, the computers, the electric floor heater, and a bunch of individual circuits.
I suspect that down the line we'll get a third ECM unit, but for now, I hope to find our big power draws using the two.
