Hi there all
and congratulations for the forum and the netduino invent :-)
I just want to begin a home progect and i want to monitor
some consumers aroud my home.
For first thinks if anyone can help me
i'm looking all net to find a non invasive current reader that allready have a zigbee
trnsmiter (and maybe that function using the battery)
Then i want to buy the netduino plus (in europe) with the zigbee interface,
in order to read all data that the current sensor send me.
Is there anybody that allready make this
...or have allready see some zigbee sensor for current please ?
Thanks in advance.
Denis
SparkFun has clamp-on current meter for $9.95 (US) that would work for your purposes. I don't think you'll find one with a ZigBee interface though.

If you use the Spark Fun or Digi-Key version, you will need to rectify (AC to DC), and condition the signal. Here is an App note on this. I will be using one of these in my projects. A possible solution for someone that is interested in learning more about electronics.
My inclination is more on the hardware side, but I am very interested in learning the .net framework.
Take care,
Mike
