I was looking for a real dumb beginner question category, but this is the closest.
As background I installed the hardware and wiring to connect a portable generator into my main panel using a lockout device to prevent back-feeding the grid. To better see what circuits I can use, to monitor the generator use, and dip a toe in home automation, I bought two Aeon HEMs, a Aeon Z-stick and a RPi. Without going into the saga of false starts and frustration, I now have openHAB running on the RPI with both the Z-stick and HEM identified in the paper UI. Whew!
I’m now lost on how to see the data, much less collect and store it over time. I have also apparently copied something to a clip board, but again don’t know how to open that. At this point I just want to see and collect the data and not do anything else.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. I had pretty much exhausted the first link, but the link on the concepts did the trick. I had needed to link the channels in the thing to items. The items now display the numbers. Figuring out how to store the numbers with a time stamp is the next step.
Again thanks
