I just sent out a tweet on OpenEnergyMon twitter. Good luck, sounds like a great project! Please feedback developments upstream if appropriate. We would really like to work with a skilled android developer to make a emoncms app 

Thank you Glyn!:

We will upload all the information. Actually we have 2 "new" sensors based on emonTH, they measure CO2 using Sensair (plugged on 220V) and Water consumption using a "hacked water meter" without a hall sensor, only with a contact bulb. They are very interesting. Also we are integrating 3,5" TFT Adafruit screen with huge results.

We keep going in order to achieve an easy to use Spanish open energy home metering system.

Thank you for the support and congrats for the kickstarter campaing results.

Nice! Have you got a photo of the TFT? I've been looking for a emonGLCD replacement. I'm thinking a RasPi with LCD or recently I have been playing with e-paper could be a way to go:

We are working with Pi TFT Adafruit screen because:

1- It is a touch screen, we can control an easy menu.

2- It is cheap (35$ per screen)

3- Raspberry Pi + PItft are 7W in total, not heavy consumption, and always Raspberry is plugged. Maybe for unplugged versions paper display could be a good choice, but tft has better performance. Also you can run Linux, internet, videos, anything,....

4- With raspberry 2 you have enough performance to run any application smoothly, if you have a screen, you have a complete computer in any case.

Nowadays we are looking for a php developer to make an application to take advantage of the entire system for user, with an administrator account and an energy efficiency advisory system. Then we will apply these improvements to the TFT screen, in the last phase, so now we only have the TFT running without any change.

Thanks for the support Glyn
