Monitoring and alerting

Is there a practical way for the system to learn “normal” baseline usage, and then alert me when the consumption increases by x% and then again when it stops? Trying to come up with a way to monitor when the clothes dryer is running and to let me know when it’s finished.

Hello @canerdian you are probably best using something like nodered for this, you can feed data into node red from emoncms using MQTT. There’s an old example here that might be of interest: Node-RED - Guide | OpenEnergyMonitor
