Post subject:  Can't set-up Google Power Meter

Hello, is there anyone who can help me utilise Google Powermeter? I have an EnviR set-up via a bridge (not directly connected to PC) and I just can't get it sorted. The information is displaying fine at Currentcost.com, however whenever I try and configure my device to the Google Powermeter site, it seems to only allow devices which are connected to PC's. Please help - not much hair left.

Hey Andy,

on the home page at http://my.currentcost.com/account/home.php there's a section down towards the bottom of the page, called "Devices". If you click the "+" (plus), it expands out and shows what devices you have registered there. Just under the serial number at the top of the section is a row of buttons - one of them should say "Register Google PowerMeter". When you click that, you get flicked over the Google Power Meter, you log in, answer a few questions, and it's set up.

I imagine you did all that? If so, what happens when you click the "Test Google PowerMeter" button (again on the currentcost home page) - it should say "Google test successful!" just under the Devices heading above the Device serial number. Clicking "Visit Google PowerMeter" takes you straight to google where you can see you graphs.. (if it's all working of course).

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply.

I was trying to set-up the device @ Google Powermeter following the instructions that came with the EnviR - seemed logical at the time. You are correct, it took about three go's but I am connected now.

Just out of interest, what are you monitoring with your set-up? I am monitoring the output from my solar inverter into my power meter and it shows ~100W / hr power consumption during the night when the inverter is in standby. I have approached the installer and they have advised that this is a normal occurrence, however the spurious reading is caused by essentially noise on the line and not power consumption.

Comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou.
