Hi what i am about to ask i assume can be done just wanted some confirmation first. I recently built a system to monitor my solar hot water and pv system this is working well.
I also installed a solar hot water system at my dads place and he is keen to see what the solar hot water is doing rather than looking at the controller outside. I am only thinking of monitoring only not control.
He lives on island and doesn't have ADSL internet or a wireless network and only connects to the internet when needs be.
I would like to build a emontx and emonglcd only so he can monitor what is going on. I know this will work but wondered if anyone had success using the jeelabs precision RTC clock to keep the time i have seen some examples code which i think will work ?
My thoughts are
emonglcd with custom graphics
emontx with
outside temp
Cylinder temp
solar flow
solar return with calculated solar yeild
current ct with fixed supply voltage for wattage
todays solar yield and immersion heater totals ( not sure if the emonglc can total the days usage then reset with the jeelabs RTC) ??
System Configuration Emontx and Emonglcd only
