Thanks, Jim, but I need it to be time-dependent.
I’m trying to figure out if everyone went home and left the heat/AC on. So I need a time element: “between 8pm and 7am, > 0.5 kW for 5 minutes” for example. (I have a Vue.)
During the daytime, and especially on hot days, AC will cycle on and off, so usage might be 5 kW hourly, but not continuous. Maybe 7kW for 15 minutes, then 1.2 for 8 minutes, etc. Some days, people are in for 8 hours, others for only 3. So I can’t figure out how to formulate an alert for wasted usage during “normal” hours. IFTTT could connect usage with occupancy though … something to work on.
