I have just started downloading to CurrentCost with a bridge. Are all channels transmitted via the bridge? Which channel, if more than one is transmitted, is shown graphed on the dashboard. I note that the downloaded .csv file from the dashboard has only temperature and power.
I would like to suggest that many CurrentCost users would like to see all their data. I think that the people at CurentCost know this but I am adding my thoughts in order to reinforce this view. I have no desire to see the temperature channel. I see no benefit seeing the temperature of the room where the CC meter is. IUt has no relevence for me at the moment. I want to see the power consumption and the output from my solar panel.
Can I encourage others to voice their opinions so the developers at CurrentCost can accurately gauge the things their users want.
Prior to Google Power meter biting the dust I was able to use the SQLight database it produced to generate charts of my own.

This chart has my main power and Hot Water as stacked bars above the horizontal axis and my solar power output shownas a negative value below that axis. The resolution is 1 minute intervals as averaged power over that minute.
I would love to have access to the raw data but that would mean leaving my computer on 24/7. If CC could provide access to all three channels of data that the CC meter collects I would count a loss in resolution an acceptable trade off.
I noticed elsewhere discussion of a spliced cable allowing data to be collected by a computer as well as the bridge acting as normal.
To the CFC people, thanks for your efforts so far. I know you realise that we want more from you and our expectaions are high and our needs various and diverse.
Can I encourage others of you to have your say.
