It may take a bit. I'll have to hook back up my backend to pull it (its been taken down for a bit as I only have one projector at the moment and no other tvs)

I've used that script on .18 .21 .22 and .23 I've never had a problem. Download .23 from mythtvs website and then use the myth.find_orphans.pl from that after you uncompress. It's in the /mythtv/contrib section somewhere. Maybe the newest version of the script has been modified

That calculation expects 100% effectivity from the PSU.

Ok we will assume 50% effieciency... .20 cents a year

I ran the myth cleanup script from the contribs section (nonlinuxmce backend though) - myth.find_orphans.pl

It took a while to get it to work as I recall and I had to mess with the usage

I wonder how much energy it uses over the course of a year.

with two 2900 mAh batter at 1.5 volts, it last around two days. Each AA battery provides 4.35 watts total so that gives us 4.35 watts per day. Divide by 24 to get watt hour and that would be .18 watts/hr. Total comes out to about 1.58 KWH a year. For me that costs a total of .10 cents yearly

Not sure if this one has the same defect of killing batteries as the WDTC-20 which has been discontinued due to that fact.



Tim

It was only killing batteries before i could hook up the 24vac connection to it. Now that I've got the power to it, it isn't even using batteries. If the power goes out it goes through batteries about every two days.

so it appears the InTouch CA8900 is the same exact model as the wayne-dalton WDTC-20 but with the much lower price of $45 at some retailers. Looks exactly the same except for the rebranding. I may pick one up

Any updates on this? I really like this thermostat but am waiting until it has been fixed/ironed out.

T.E.D. 5000 is pretty sweet
http://www.theenergydetective.com/ted-5000-overview.html

The new ted 5000 system looks like it may work out of the box for us maybe. Linux compatible and has ethernet connectivity.

"Energy, Inc. has made the TED Footprints API available to 3rd party developers to create applications that present TED's energy data in different formats. Energy, Inc. does not provide support for these 3rd party applications, but simply makes them available as a convenience. Enjoy! "

The old version 1000/1001 is already integrated with My:ro control http://www.meetmyro.com/overview.asp and looks pretty nice with the way that home automation program presents it. A electric/power section would be a neat addition to linuxmce

n810 will work as an orbiter same as the n800 for the guy asking earlier

n810 is step back because it only has one minisd port on it instead of my two full sd ports on my n800 that allow for two full size sd cards. Plus the 810 is freaking expensive. just buy a bluetooth keyboard and a gps device if the gps and keyboard are that important and you will save money

thank you for doing all this work with the screencasts. When I get my system in and some freetime I'm going to make a new UI based on UI2 that will work for a touchscreen (hopefully anyway)
