     3[[Image(Brultech-Meters.png, align=right, 30%)]] 
     4The Brultech Energy Monitor plugin is a [http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Luup_Plugins Luup component] that captures, displays, and periodically updates Energy Usage information from a [http://brultech.com/products/ECM1240/default.htm Brultech ECM-1240] Energy Monitoring device.

    3 Trac is a '''minimalistic''' approach to '''web-based''' management of 
    4 '''software projects'''. Its goal is to simplify effective tracking and handling of software issues, enhancements and overall progress. 
     6= How does it work = 
     7Brultech's ECM-1240 is a Device that measures Power consumption in a home.  Users may deploy one or more ECM-1240 devices, as outlined on Brultech's website, as shown in this walk-through: 
    58 
    6 All aspects of Trac have been designed with the single goal to  
    7 '''help developers write great software''' while '''staying out of the way''' 
    8 and imposing as little as possible on a team's established process and 
    9 culture.

    11 As all Wiki pages, this page is editable, this means that you can 
    12 modify the contents of this page simply by using your 
    13 web-browser. Simply click on the "Edit this page" link at the bottom 
    14 of the page. WikiFormatting will give you a detailed description of 
    15 available Wiki formatting commands. 
     11There are various [http://brultech.com/products/ECM1240/communicationOptions/default.htm connectivity options] available for the Brultech ECM-1240.  These are outlined on Brultech's website.

    17 "[wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] ''yourenvdir'' initenv" created 
    18 a new Trac environment, containing a default set of wiki pages and some sample 
    19 data. This newly created environment also contains  
    20 [wiki:TracGuide documentation] to help you get started with your project. 
     13The ''current'' generation of this plugin works side-by-side with their [http://brultech.com/products/ECM1240/packages/plugAndPlay.htm Plug & Play] packages, and "sees" the same data that would normally be sent on to their Plug & Play service ([http://my1240.com my1240.com]) before it's passed onto [http://www.google.com/powermeter Google Power Meter] for collection, graphing and so-on.  Since the Plugin co-exists with their Plug & Play solution, data is exposed both in MiOS, as Devices, in addition to the existing Google Power Meter mechanisms that the Plug & Play units expose.

    22 You can use [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] to configure 
    23 [http://trac.edgewall.org/ Trac] to better fit your project, especially in 
    24 regard to ''components'', ''versions'' and ''milestones''.  
     15Future versions of this Plugin will provide native decoding of both their Text and Binary streams, and will work with their [http://brultech.com/products/ECM1240/packages/packages.htm Standard Packages] 
    2516 
     17Each ECM-1240 can measure the Power usage on up to 7 circuits.  This plugin exposes this data to Vera using a parent, Brultech Controller, device along with up to 7 child devices.  Each of these children exposes the Wattage value for their respective channel within the Dashboard. 
    2618 
    27 TracGuide is a good place to start. 
     19In addition, Vera will also report your data up so you can see it under the ''Energy Usage'' tab of your ''cp.mios.com'' account.

     21= Installation = 
     22This document assumes you've already ''physically'' installed your Brultech ECM-1240 and have followed the instructions, and warnings, on their site in regard to the physical device installation. 
    3123 
    32 == Starting Points == 
     24Once physically installed, you need a Serial (RS-232) connection between the Brultech ECM-1240 and your Vera.  You connect Vera to the ECM-1240 using one of the [http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Serial_Supported_Hardware Serial Supported Hardware] solutions that's been published.
