Measuring data

A thought from Alex_Holden.

If I had two sensors with logging (My current one doesn't have a logger), then I could use one after the inverter and one in the usual position and get some really pretty graphs.

I can't currently justify spending £70 to get a pair, but I do like the idea of being able to see both generation and consumption.

sky mostly overcast 3:20pm - generation = 480W

Yes, there are batteries in both parts. The transmitter is connected to a sensor that normally clips around one of the thick wires that goes into the meter.
