I am new here to PH and am considering migrating to it from
mcontrol. I am curious, however, if there is a way to
integrate TED 1000. I wrote a driver for this in mcontrol
and I know that, for me at least, all that is needed is a
way to parse an xml file. Has anyone done this for PH yet?
If not, could someone give me a little nudge as to what
might be needed to accomplish it? Thanks.

I just bought a Brultech ECM-1240, and was wondering how I could "integrate" it into my PH controlled HA system.
I would think your tasks might be similiar to what I will be needed as well.
1) How to check a data file for new updates/changes (this can already be done via a PH plug-in)
2) How to parse the logged data
3) How to trigger off a given "data stream"

Yes, your needs do sound similar. I already have a few
pieces of code,(written in c#), that I can use to parse an
xml file. I just don't know yet how to get the info into
PH. Somethng like that, for me is a must have item.

I have accomplished what I needed to do here. After
downloading and toying with the "Get Weather" macro by
tonyno on this forum, I learned quite a lot in one day. I
was able to use his macro and recreate it to suit my
needs. Anyone that is using a T.E.D. 1000 power monitor, will be able to get that data into PH by using something like I did in the attached macro.
You can access the data from the T.E.D device by going to
the address.. yourlocalipaddress:9090/DASHBOARDDATA from
a webbrowser.If you have TED installed on the same
machine as PH, you can obviously use
localhost:9090/DASHBOARDDATA as the address as is. This
example is only reading a small amount of the information
that the T.E.D. has to offer but it is all I was
interested in seeing for now....Hope this helps someone.2010-06-24_001351_ted_power_macro.zip

Thanks for the write up.
I see that you are basically scraping the information from the web page rather than parsing the XML data file. This same approach will work for the ECM 1240 powermeter as well (or anything else that displays to a served web page).
....no reason not to keep it simple....
