"Smart" electrical meter with embedded cost accrual computation per time-of-use policy.
Deployed on Unraid as a Docker app, check blog post for more verbose information about this project.
Are you trying to use this package? Please consider:
- Set the URL for your InfluxDB instance in
start.json - Modify
get_rate.jsto match your energy rate plan.
Build the docker image
docker build -t studio-electricity-meter .
Mount the app directory so you don't rebuild the image every time you want to test a code change. This way you can execute new code directly from within the container.
docker run -it --rm --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 -v $PWD/app:/app --name studio-electricity-meter studio-electricity-meter bash
Once everything is working you can build and move on to install
The meaning of install here just means that your docker daemon by default will manage this container for the rest of its life. So we just execute it with -d to daemonize it rather than let its log attach to the working terminal.
docker run -d --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 --name studio-electricity-meter studio-electricity-meter
Use your favorite docker management tools to check on it.
