This page documents development and beta versions of the CurrentCost_to_Pachube software.

The downloads found here should only be used if you are interested to test the latest version of the software, which usually has new features -- if you are looking for stability then you should stick with the main CurrentCost_to_Pachube software which is used by most people successfully.

Current Cost to Pachube - 2.0b

New version adds 'sum' (for multiple clamps) and 'average' (since last Pachube update) datastreams; auto-detects the number of appliances/sensors, number of clamps as well as model and country of the CC unit; provides a bigger graphing area; and updates Pachube every 3 minutes.

If you have a Current Cost electricity meter, here is a little application you can download that makes it very quick and easy to connect to the web and Pachube, so that you can track it over time, monitor remotely, make consumption indicator orbs for your home, calculate your realtime carbon footprint and create realtime embeddable graphs in your own webpages. The same app should work on either the CC128 or Classic models, and will display temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit depending on whether it is a European or US model.

This is the main page for Pachube tutorials for a variety of technologies.

If you are reasonably confident with using microcontrollers and networks, you might find the Quickstart useful.
