The Load Profiling still isn't working like a want. As I mentioned in a prior post, the TED is missing some of the on/off events for the water heater. While waiting to do the firmware update last night, I saw on the graphing tab that the water heater turned off in two seperate events. I'm guessing that both elements were on and turned off about 3 seconds apart. This was enough for the TED to miss the profile event. Ugh. The current plan now is to change the load profiling code that I put in the HA software yesterday so that instead of pulling down load profile data that the TED has collected, I'm going to pull down the historical minute data and parse that to find the water heater events.
The advantage to this is that the HA software can have more intelligence built into it since I know what loads I'm looking for and can set it up to handle events that occur over a period of time. I will lose some resolution by looking at the minute data instead of the seconds data, but I think that will be ok. One other note about the minute data is that the TED seems to only keep about 48 hours worth. I'll have to set the retrieval of this on a polling timer and save the parsed xml out to disk for later processing.
