    77This sensor counts pulses from a house meter and converts it into watt/kwh. There are a few parameters that needs to be tuned before everything works. On your meter it is usually specified how many pulses/kwh. Set PULSE_FACTOR to this value. You can also set SEND_FREQUENCY (how often you want the sensor to report values). Default is each 20 seconds.

    9 If you want the vera device to show your current meeter value. Update Variable1 under the vera devices advanced tab to your meters current kwh-value * PULSE_FACTOR.

    1111The sensor sketch has two modes:

    1515Use this if you run the sensor on battery. In this mode the sensor will report KWH but cannot report any Watt-value. This is because when sensor sleeps it will lose track of time and therefore it is impossible to calculate a correct Watt-value.\\
