that's 200 watts for the day I think I have seen it peak at 150W instant. Oh you have a threshold of 100W? you didn't design the powervault did you ?
Umm no I didnt design the powervault does it have a threshold ?
Well the reason I have one is I am in it for the long term so every hour write the accumalated watt/hours to an EEPROM but being mean squash it into one byte, so thats one place a comprimise is made and then the other is the display, I only use a 2x40 char LCD with lots of stuff on it so various energy readings get displayed as 10ths of Kwh. Primative I admit but then I dont want a PC running 24/7 and economics preclude something like a raspi for me anyway
I should explain I personally don't rely upon a GTI display as the GTI only get's fired up when the water tank is >64degC and that is where most of the power is used, water heating
Actually saves a significent amount of Oil especially in summer
I loved the to and fro here about instantanious power vs energy over time, can be confusing at times (inadvertant pun alert)!
Hey I got 700Wh (0.7Kwh) today, the clag is lifting a little, maybe I dont have to move to Bristol
