      • Desktop Widget for PC and Menu Bar Reading for Mac

        There is currently an easy way to Display the live power usage on my Mac Dashboard by simply going to the live feed webpage and going File>Open in Dashboard, but I'm not sure if that's an option on a PC?

        Also I have readouts of my Memory usage stats displayed in my Mac Menu Bar. An app for a power readout or current energy cost would be amazing!

          • How does Wattmeter handle net-metering?

            How does Wattmeter handle net-metering? I have solar panels with Enphase micro-inverters, and Enlighten monitoring. Does Wattmeter detect solar output and provide monitoring and analysis of net electric usage? How is this implemented?

            • Aggregate data from NEST thermostats to overlay their use

              Hi there,

              Id like to be able to overlay the NEST usage maps on top of Wattvisiion to get a better comparison of when they AC kicks in. Yes, most of the time you can tell, but we have a spurious energy spike that hits 50KW that I cannot track down and I want to make sure its not the AC

              more about the NEST API here

              • Not handling daylight saving time accurately.

                that chart showing the data points have all points plotted correctly with the exception of the last point it is one hour in advance. It appears that daylight time not handled correctly in some instances of the logic

                • Allow for display of Solar generated energy.

                  I am using EKM Iserial with Ekm Metering reporting generated solar energy. In your system it currently shows as consumed not generated. Allow it to show generated energy in addition to consumed and in addition to computing value of generated energy based on power company allow for the input of $/kwh for state incentives ( in Mass they use SDREC). This will show accurate $$$ earned.

                    • I have solar. I also have a GE KV2CS "NetMeter". Can I get an analog meter and still get all my energy credits?

                      I have solar. I also have a GE KV2CS "NetMeter". Can I get an analog meter and still get all my energy credits for when the unit starts to "run backwards"?

                      • Display total KW consumption or generated.

                        I am monitoring a generator on an aerobic digester and we are selling power back to the electric company. Would like to see a daily total KW generated feature.

                        • Provide local utility rates for comparative shopping

                          When logging in. Show surrounding rates in the area. I realize this will not reflect occasional mailer specials that get sent to one's home for promotional purposes, but perhaps just the standard rates of competing utilities.

                          • Cost Summary Widget

                            I would like a widget that would present consumption for the previous day, current day and a user defined date range (month). I would also like the widget access our electricity cost information to give some feeling for the actual $ cost. The widget would look very similar to the weekly report, just summarized and updated in real time with new charges from consumption data.

                              I purchase power at $0.16 but sell at $0.08. Can you reflect that in cost graphs?

                              • TOU Pricing? Seems like a basic feature, but I don't see support for it.

                                TOU requires a basic daily schedule that has several versions based on the season. It would be good to show the graph marked in yellow for the high rate and green for the low rate (or something similar) and show cost calculations in each period. Would help to see if TOU pricing would help me, and how to maximize its use

                                      It would be good to display the anual prediction of energy or the actual anual energy consuption.

                                      • display readings on a thermostat

                                        Several wifi enabled thermostats on the market today could be configured to display the information from your sensor so you could see it in real time in the house without having to use a computer or smartphone.
