Home Energy Sensing Using Dumb meters

[NotYetRated]

Has anyone rigged up a unit to sense home power consumption on "dumb" power meters? The old rotary dial systems?

I was thinking I could use the "PulseWatermeter" guide with the barrier line sensor. Would just need to modify the code to calculate power, rather than water.

Thoughts?

Sounds doable. And you can probably reuse the same power pulse meter sketch.
