API for the Sense Energy Monitor

# sense_api Sense Energy Monitor API Interface [WIP]

Systematic access to the Sense monitor data. Exploratory work on pulling data from Sense to be used in other tools - Smartthings, ActiveTiles, etc.

Python version based on the work done here in Powershell: https://gist.github.com/mbrownnycnyc/db3209a1045746f5e287ea6b6631e19c

There are plenty of methods for you to call so modify however you see fit

If using the API to log data, you should only create one instance of Senseable and then reuse that to get the updated stats. Creating the instance authenticates with the Sense API which should only be once every 15-20 minutes at most. Calling the update_trend_data() function will update all the trend stats and get_realtime() will retrieve the latest real time stats.

The get_realtime() is by default rate limited to one call per 30 seconds. This can be modified by setting the Senseable object attribute rate_limit to a different value.
