Question: What tools do I have for getting logical information from an instant power measurement?
Here is a graph of the power consumption of my coffee machine this morning:
The machine turned on at 7:15. I made a latte at 7:30. It’s been idle since then, since I haven’t made a cup for my S.O.
I have an espresso machine. My typical routine is to turn the machine on, then wait for it to warm up, then I make my coffee. I want to add some automations. Specifically I want to notify myself when the coffee machine has been on long enough. I have some other ideas, like making another annoying notice if I didn’t make the coffee and the machine is about to go to sleep. Maybe put the number of cups made today on a dashboard.
I’d like to trigger on things like the coffee machine turning on. And I would like to trigger on making a cup of coffee.
That’s the back story. The main question is: What tools for analyzing this power meter already exist?
