 Techtoniq Energy Station - [Tested & Recommended]
This application allows you to gather data from your Home Electricity Monitor. You can further analyse the data and get alerted via email, SMS & Twitter. When energy consumption meets certain pre-set alert parameters. This is the application we use daily, to post data to our ENERGY MONITOR account on Twitter.
Easily discover your home's energy use profile! Learn to change your usage habits to reduce waste and save money.
Quantify the benefit (or otherwise) of switching tariffs, installing energy efficient appliances based on your actual consumption. Use the alerts to keep your finger on the pulse of the heartbeat, of your home!
Some of the features of this software that we particularly like are:
Values for the individual phases in a three-phase supply, are displayed as well as total consumption. When using the HOME ELECTRICITY MONITOR we offer, all inputs to each transmitter are easily seen individually. Personal consumption target thresholds can be set and when exceeded a red/amber/green alert is displayed. Hourly totals for the last month. Charts can be printed and data can be exported to Excel for further analysis. User-defined billing periods can be set, to calculate power usage in a certain time period. Alerts can be based on different criteria ("greater than", "less than", "equal to", "not equal to"). Alerts can be sent to Twitter. Further destinations may be included by the provider of this software.
The Techtoniq software application when connected to your HOME ELECTRICITY MONITOR takes only a short time to set-up and is really easy to use. Allowing you to get your HOME ELECTRICITY REDUCTION PROGRAM or DIY ELECTRICITY AUDIT started asap. Below is a snapshot showing daily electricity consumption of our office.
Furthermore the Techtoniq application is proving to be a very popular piece of Solar PV Monitoring software. It's important to make sure the output of any solar installation, is monitored 24/7. No-one wants to be informed of a fault two months ago, when the electricity bill arrives. By then it's already cost $$$!
So why not create you own Virtual Power Station today, with the Techtoniq software application.
