But, I'm not new to monitoring my power usage. A long time ago I used Trystan's work to build my own power monitor from the ground up (desert-home.com) and have been using it continuously for a couple of years. I finally got tired of Cosm's incredibly slow servers and came over to try emoncms as a repository.
Wow.
Trystan, you did it right. It took me a while to adjust my head to the paradigm, and to figure out how to have an Arduino with a standard ethernet shield send the data, but I did it. I'm happily sending data and charting it with the tools here.
Nice job.

Nice One!
Trystan is having an Open Day today http://openenergymonitor.blogspot.com/2012/11/openenergymonitor-meetup.html, so I doubt he'll see this post for a while, but I'm sure he'll be pleased.
Re: New to emonCMS
Thanks a lot David, much appreciated. I enjoyed your review of it too.
