personal site typo #3

Matt, I am working through making this work from a very noob perspective as an alternative to utilizing an Arduino on my smartmeter.

Anyway, step 4 at your personal site: http://matt.colyer.name/2010/10/23/pge-and-google-power-meter/ appears to have a small typo in the execute command where it calls "rub.rb" as opposed to run.rb

Also, in step 11 I could only get the token and variable options to work with double dashes rather than singles as you have them on the site.

Thanks so much for doing this, very excited to get the data into PowerMeter! Now, how best to run this automatically and on what interval?

Sorry about that. I've fixed those two issues with the post.

I use cron to automatically run it everyday around 6 or 7pm. I believe PG&E updates the previous day's data around 4pm on the following day, however you might experience something different.
