I suffer from the issue of having grand scheme but no skills. Do not think for a second I am not listening to you all. I might draft this up into a flow chart and trial some code to see if I can get it to work, the part I have issue with is my coding is slightly above "hello world" in that I can mix and match stuff, fix errors, but writing a new code is beyond me, so the UI for the controller is way more beyond me then I could imagine. would anyone even consider looking at what I do to help out? I actually want to use all the sketches on here and people can upload more, then when you go "thats a brilliant idea I need 5 of them" you buy the parts goto the UI select what you want, it states this is the wire up (this is the part that would be hard because I want it to give options not have everything on A0 for example) then you wire it, press send code and presto its working without wires to the computer.

The sensors offer an analog value, so you have to use one of the Ax input of Arduino. I found an example of implementation here: http://www.homautomation.org/2013/09/17/current-monitoring-with-non-invasive-sensor-and-arduino/ I also plan to use such a device in my automation project in the near future and I am already prepared for that, I published few sketches with analog input usage, people have to use as they want the analog input values.

hi @freerpg - I too suck at programming and had the same idea as you did several years ago... im pretty sure i also asked on a forum if someone could create such a program....i got told similar to whats be said above...and so i got stuck in and learnt it....well enough to get me by. Have a go, and i bet in a few months you will look at this post and laugh.... Heaps of people here and elsewhere can help... Actually... check out these vids for getting going with Arduino...awesome https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA567CE235D39FA84 Good luck!

ty hek, I knew it was possible but trying to get it all in one now will be fun. also got an idea for a dual controller, is this possible? I want to have the ethernet one as the hub, but run around with a portable raspberry pi that also runs something like pi dome but a remote version. I must sound like I am asking for the moon from a community of people donating their time but thought it would be an addition worth while
