This is not really a solution for your problem. I tried to get an answer from
currentcost what exactly sensor 0 is but I get no answer. It seems that sensor
0 is the first sensor you connect to the base station. I use more sensors and I
do not really know how to get all sensor data to the sensor 0 device if this is
possible. The sensor 0 is called "whole house" ....
It seems that you have just one sensor. Try to connect it with the base station
on sensor position 1. With your hack you will get a lot of problems with
measureit because of the complete software is based on the sensor id
Take a look at my post in the faq " I receive the XML data but nothing was
displayed on the website"
"
If you have only 1 transmitter from currentcost make sure to to pair it with
the "Appliance 1" display. You reach it by press the up/down button on your
currentcost device. You will find the appliance id in the right bottom corner (
Envi ). See the instructions from the currentcost website how to pair a device.
Here you will find the installation from the envi
http://currentcost.com/product-envi-installation.html
In the xml data you will find the device id your transmitter is paired with
your currentcost device. There you find something like this:
<msg><src>CCdsb>00385</dsb><timemsg><src>CC128-v0.12</srtime>06:52:19</time><tmp
r>20.3</tmpr><sensor>2</sensor><id>01674</id><type>1</type><ch1><watts>00236</wa
tts></ch1></msg>
Make sure that your sensor has id 1. The start screen from the envi is sensor 0.
<sensor>1</sensor>
Measureit does not consider any data from sensor 0
"
I am not shure what exactly I should do with sensor 0. Maybe an other email to
currentcost with no answer. That sucks....

Hi
It seems Sensor 0 is the sum of all the other sensors, hence it is called Whole
House, so it is your total usage. I have three IAMs and one main sensor. Thus
Sensor 0 is the main sensor, showing my total usage, whilst Sensors 1 - 3 are
my three IAMs. By excluding Sensor 0 measureit is actually failing to record
total energy usage for people with more than one sensor.
I got around this by adding Sensor 0 to the mysql measure_sensors and this
means I now get the data for Sensor 0, but I still don't get the Sensor 0
measure in the measure_data_now table....

It will not work to add sensor 0 to the database. The rest of the code does not
use it.
I will change measureit to use sensor 0 as soon as I can. In my first tests it
seems "whole house" is just a name and does not display the data from all
sensors. If I rewrite measureit to use sensor 0 I will also include a feature
that really display all data from all sensor.

Ahh, it works for me coz I am only the python script to pull the currentcost
data in to a mysql database, I am not using the rest of the measureit
functionlity (in fact, I am just running the python code).
Also, I got my description slightly wrong. Sensor 0 doesn't only show the
collective reading from all the sensors, it shows the overall power usage, as
Sensor 0 should be the transmitter attached to your main power cable by the
electriciy meter.

added the ability to use sensor 0 in version 112 that is now online
