Current Cost energy monitor can't see sensor

Thanks for the info.
I think your "pollution" may be from the data sent out from the CC128. Apart from the real time output the CC128s also outputs history at various times of the day. Meteohub has to ignore all these history output and just work on real time data. If the code is not quite correct then meteohub could pick up the odd stray reading.

Now my sensor is up and running it should output zero unless I run my hot water then 9600 (or 96watts) will be output. By checking my sensor especially overnight when it should be zero it should be possible to see if any extra data is being picked up.

I'm quite sure the "pollution" I'm seeing is not due to anything the Meteohub CC128 implementation is doing as I don't use it! The regular expression I use to extract relevant data is very precise and should only be matching live data records. I'm aware of the historic data but the structure of those records is quite different.

[1] I have the 'native' Meteohub CC128 station set up but I'm not directly recording data from it. I'm still using the plug-in I wrote before 'native' support was added! My plug-in reads the "pass-through" feed from the native CC128! I stick with the plug-in because it only writes one record each minute (based on all readings received in the minute) and that's fine for me.

Judging from the CurrentCost store I think they may have stopped doing the type of sensor on which I'm seeing the pollution (i.e. the one that has one permanently attached clamp, and sockets for two more).

I see what you mean and agree it could well be fed by your hardware clamps.

The hall effect sensor I have is around 30ft from my clamps bolted to the gas meter and is only 0 watts or 96watts (or whatever I pre-set it to be). So if there is any other data present I presume it is stray data from the CC128.
