Re: [LUG] Use your RasPI to monitor your electricity meter

 

Yep, having something “non-technical” to get people’s interests up…

 

Another thought is to put a few Ras Pi’s around a house to monitor it’s temperature for a while (say a few weeks)… that will help people balance their central heating… rather than having all the radiators on full with one room getting hotter (faster) than another one… in theory all the rooms would heat up evenly without having hot and cold spots

 

As my house is heated with independently timed electrical heaters, then the next logical step for me is a Ras Pi controlled central heating system which controls the heaters… I’ll take on Nest and collect £3.2B from google ;o)

 

(Patent Pending…)

if we can get it working or monitoring energy easier it something we can demo to the general public (maybe at a pi jam) and something that most people can relate to.
