= CurrentCost EnviR power monitor =

The [http://www.currentcost.com/product-envir.html EnviR] (CC128) is a wireless power monitor from [http://www.currentcost.com/ CurrentCost].  The console receives up to ten wirelessly-transmitted current signals from [http://www.currentcost.com/product-transmitter.html transmitters].  Transmitters detect one- or three-phase alternating current with clamps.  Combined with a fixed nominal voltage programmed into the console, the EnviR calculates a wattage.

== Serial protocol ==

The EnviR has an RJ45 port with nonstandard wiring, carrying a TTL serial signal.  A [http://www.currentcost.com/product-datacable.html data cable] containing an inline Prolific PL-2303 chip transforms this signal into a USB serial signal.  The serial protocol is [http://www.currentcost.com/cc128/xml.htm documented].

== Preparing the hardware ==

You need a serial port in Vera's MiOS interface.  Two ways of doing this:
* Connect the EnviR to the Vera.  (Does Vera recognize the PL-2303 without additional work?)
* Connect the EnviR to an always-on computer running serial-to-Ethernet gateway software, and use the [http://code.mios.com/trac/mios_ipserial/ IPSerial plugin] to add a virtual serial port to the Vera.

The serial parameters are: 57600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

== Installing the plugin files ==
