currentcostgui


A graphical application to display personal home electricity usage

CurrentCost GUI

CurrentCost (http://www.currentcost.com) monitors allow you to monitor your home electricity usage. You can connect a serial cable to them to get the data out of them in an XML format.

This project contains an application written to capture this data and display it in the form of graphs and descriptions.

See the features page for a list of what the application can do and a few small screenshots.
