TED5000 Support / Re: Separate Reading for Each Current Clamp?

« Last post by Support7 on September 11, 2018, 11:29:03 AM »

Unfortunately the 2 CT's show a combined total so the only way to do it with a TED5000 is to use both CT's on the same lead or adjust the multiplier and only use one CT but would still only allow for one monitoring point at a time.

The newer model TED Pro Home does offer the optional Spyder component that does allow you to break down and monitor on a per circuit bases so that may be more of what your looking for. http://www.theenergydetective.com/spyder

There is also a discounted upgrade options for TED5000 customers:

TED5000 Support / Separate Reading for Each Current Clamp?

« Last post by DrDeke on September 10, 2018, 06:10:46 PM »

I have a TED 5000 sitting in storage since I moved a while back, and I have an application where I need to see a separate reading from each of the two current clamps. I can't remember whether the TED 5000 shows this data anywhere and was wondering if any of you know so I can save the trouble of installing it in case it can't.

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind reply.
I have received the docs as supplied by David (very nice fellow). Unfortunately these docs do not include any information on the file in question.
Since posting this a few days ago, I have successfully guessed/interpreted the file well enough to get the data I need for RainMeter.

I now have all of my TED and Spyder data displaying on my Windows desktop. While I still plan to build histograms for each of the Spyders, for now just having the textual data will suffice.

Thanks,
Layne

Developer Support / SpyderData.xml support

« Last post by laynevincent on August 21, 2018, 10:03:42 AM »

Hi All,
I am new to the forum so please be kind.
I have been setting up TED to work with my implementation of RainMeter. I need information that SpyderData.xml can provide but I have no documentation for that file. Do you all know where I might find documentation for the available arguments(switches) for SpyderData.xml?

Thanks

P.S. I searched the forum for any reference to SpyderData.xml but found none. If I missed it please point me in the right direction.

Sometiumes I just have to unplug and plug back in the main unit (the wall wart with the ethernet cable) and that solves a lot of problems.

TED5000 Support / Re: Poll: How many kWh per day does your home use when you are away traveling?

« Last post by tlveik on July 22, 2018, 09:40:32 PM »

I just got back from a trip and checked mine again.  Previously I posted here that I was at about 4 kwh.  This time it was about 4.6 kwh.  The difference must have been that this time it was a lot hotter, so the refrigerator would have run more.

I'm getting this error in trying to upload a very simple screenshot of my TED5000 output:

"...An Error Has Occurred!
The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved...."

but all it shows is that my home energy use during a one-week vacation recently was about 3.35 kWh per day.  There is a problem with the garage measurements not reflecting everything going on there, but even if that worked properly, I think it  still might have been below 4 kWh.
