Despite many emails to Current Cost we were disappointed that they seemed unwilling to reply to us, let alone sending any info or photos of their new unit. However, our forums have some information and links to a great review of the new hardware from Dale Lane.
"...the new meter has support for collecting data from not only the ‘whole house sensor’ as before, but also support for up to nine individual appliance sensors. There aren’t any individual appliance sensors available yet, but this is an exciting sign of things to come. Presumably at some point there will be plug adaptors which include a transmitter, making this new CurrentCost display an aggregator for multiple sources of input. That will be very cool.
With my current meter, the XML it produces gives separate values for each channel input for the current reading only. History is returned as an aggregation of all three channels.
Impressively, the CC128 maintains and produces separate history data for each individual sensor as well as the whole house sensor.
Electric logo - The meter also explicitly identifies the sensor type, with ‘1′ for ‘electricity’ - both on the display and in the XML data it produces. Again, this is an exciting teaser for what might be to come...."
