21:06:06> "Mike - AA8K": Where do you find the Zigbe meter reading ?

21:06:24> "Bill - KD5TFD": Rainforest automation .. EMU-2

21:07:10> "Bill - KD5TFD":

21:08:04> "Mike - AA8K": Probably same manufacturer.  They want 
me to use their mobile app.

21:08:33> "Bill - KD5TFD": ya .. I've resisted anything for home 
automation/instrumentation that's in the cloud


21:08:54> "Mike - AA8K": Yeah, that was embarrassing.  :)

21:09:21> "Mike - AA8K": That's the problem with multi-tasking. 
  :)

21:11:43> "Mike - AA8K": Thanks for the rainforest link. 
Looking for something that will let me capture to a desktop.

21:13:02> "Mike - AA8K": Ideally I'd like to monitor voltage and 
current in both legs, but those kind of systems are big bucks.

21:13:21> "Bill - KD5TFD": the rainforest stuff won't do that... 
purely kwh's

21:13:43> "Mike - AA8K": I've used current transformers many 
times, but just don't want to built from scratch - no time.

21:14:37> "Mike - AA8K": I would like to put a weather station 
on the Internet, but again, I can't find local data collection.

21:14:52> "Bill - KD5TFD": I've also got a rainforest eagle it's 
a zigbee to Ethernet gizmo .. but it's out of production.  They 
have an eagle 200 .. but relies on z on it are a bit worrisome

21:15:13> "Mike - AA8K": I would love to compare the weather 
station readings with my CoCoRaHS gauge and anemometer readings.

21:15:49> "Bill - KD5TFD": the cocorahs gauge .. just a 
calibrated plastic jug more or less?

21:16:48> "Bill - KD5TFD": this is rain gauge I've got ... nice 
and easy to read from where it's dry

21:17:36> "Mike - AA8K": A four-inch diameter gauge with knife 
edge.

21:19:26> "Bill - KD5TFD": I have one of those .. hard to read 
and stay dry

21:20:26> "Mike - AA8K":

21:21:16> "Bill - KD5TFD": no wind measuring here yet .. other 
than wind chimes in the backyard


21:21:18> "Mike - AA8K": I really appreciate all the work you do 
on the OpenHPSDR project.


21:21:46> "Mike - AA8K": Had to take the wind chimes down; 
bothered the dog.

21:22:33> "Bill - KD5TFD": I like 'em . surpruised how windy it 
has to be to hear 'em

21:22:35> "Mike - AA8K": CoCoRaHS has maps of your location


21:22:52> "Mike - AA8K": My way of contributing.

21:23:34> "Bill - KD5TFD": there's a fair number of coco's round 
here .. I got my coco rain gauge as part of a group buy one of 
the local club guys put together

21:23:38> "Mike - AA8K": I had big bars of iron (chunks of 
railroad track) hanging from a big tree branch with wire rope. 
We knew when it was really windy.

21:23:49> "Bill - KD5TFD": sounds like it

21:24:09> "Mike - AA8K": Melting ice and snow is a pain to get 
the water equivalent.

21:24:19> "Bill - KD5TFD": I've got a few brass pipes on a 
ornament thingy under eaves of house

21:24:22> "Bill - KD5TFD": ya

21:25:24> "Mike - AA8K": I finally bought a second gauge and 
swap gages when it has snow/ice.

21:25:36> "Bill - KD5TFD": decent strategy

21:25:59> "Mike - AA8K": I'm an hour or two late reporting on 
those days waiting for it to melt, but I don't spill anything.

21:27:54> "Mike - AA8K": NWS says the CoCoRaHS gauges are almost 
as accurate as the six-inch.  Tipping bucket, not so much.

21:28:08> "Mike - AA8K": 73 Dave and Bill
