Hi Evelyn, Sorry for the late response to this chat. I extremely happy to hear you are trying out Household Module. Since i began the module we haven't released it for production use since we have been learning and testing various aspects e.g. obs, encounters .... The module now is better. I have made changes which i expect to be out come Tuesday next week.
The module comes with a sample household data collection(CHW) page which is meant to give people a preview on how to save and retrieve Household level data. I hope you will be of great help in improving the module. I will be more than happy to respond to your questions after the first release. I will update the wiki for better interaction with the module on Wednesday next week. I am also looking forward to getting more developers working on the module as soon as i commit the code.
