Boiler woodstove measuring

I was wondering if someone might be interested in an arduino with tft screen which monitored the power delivered to the boiler. I made it working with flukso. 2 pictures says more than 1000 words.

Yes, and? What is the configuration, what is the connection between FLM and RPi? What extras? Only software? This is one of the big misunderstandings of today, that a picture (or worse, a video) without context says just nothing.
Sorry to insist. If it is a development then it should have gone just there, in the corresponding forum... If it is an installation question for others, well, then what is either the solution or the question to answer?

Okay... So you wanna to be a police officer?
Am I a suspect?
I was only asking if someone was really interested...

To raise interest - and your RPi implementation looks promising - there should IMHO be a little bit more flesh than just a picture: woodstove, ok, RPi, ok, measuring what? by what means? feasible "for others" to also follow? So, IMHO, provide a bit more context and then from this people can judge better if they are interested or not... And it is still a development topic... And github is an option to collect all your findings and give a well-prepared outline... As you might have seen from the Dev corner your question is answered by a "yes" already, what is missing is food for that interest - and, sorry, this I regard annoying (I see, you like political correctness, so "this IMHO should be extended a bit more"). You have a topic on this already, haven't you? https://www.flukso.net/content/boiler-stove

So, do you want to share details beyond a dark photo? What is the configuration? I assume you use an Arduino with some kind of Adafruit TFT display, thus serially interfaced with the corresponding software library and capabilities adapted. How do you interface with the stove's "whatever sensor"? So you read the temperature and calculate the energy conversion from it to be displayed? Do you interface this to the Fluksometer, like it easily would be possible with MQTT?
As written, with respect to "what you have done", a picture does not tell too much... Make yourself friends and share some insight instead of being sulky.

Geb does come over that way. Just ignore the forum NON temperament translator. Its because its in 2D.... :)

Im also interested what the inputs etc are .

Few years ago, i made a electronic board that upload pulses to the FLM that came from a temperature sensor. It was accurate. But i stopped it because i ran out of pulse input in my FLM v2.

The links to the screen shots don't work because http://Ubuntuone is down, sorry, but it one ask for sceen shots, i will provide them.
I think this one is something like it, but he uses an arduino with tft screen.
