LIBFLUKSO - A SIMPLE FLUKSO CLIENT LIBRARY

https://github.com/mysmartgrid/libflukso/

This little utility is intended to act as a swiss army knife for accessing various data and functions build around the Flukso power metering device, which is used in the http://www.mysmartgrid.de projekt. The initial code was developed by Henning Bitsch and then extended by Mathias Dalheimer. It is provided as-is under the terms of the GPLv3 license.

USAGE

Some utilities are included in the distribution:

  1. flukso-getvalues: A tool for downloading the latest measurements
  2. flukso-archive: A tool intended to run periodically. It adds values to a libklio datastore.

Each command comes with its own builtin help, so e.g.

$ flukso-archive -h

provides this information:

Usage: ./build/src/flukso-archive ACTION [additional options]:
-h [ --help ]          produce help message
-v [ --version ]       print libklio version and exit
-s [ --storefile ] arg the data store to use
-i [ --id ] arg        the id of the sensor
-t [ --token ] arg     the access token of the sensor
-u [ --unit ] arg      the unit of the sensor
--interval arg         which time interval to query
-b [ --baseurl ] arg   the base url of the sensor
-d [ --debug ]         enable output of debugging messages

A typical workflow would be:

  1. Create a store.

     $ klio-store create teststore.db
     Attempting to create "teststore.db"
     Initialized store: SQLite3 database, stored in file "teststore.db"
    
  2. Query a sensor. The access token can be found within your mysmartgrid account.

     $ flukso-getvalues -d -t <TOKEN> -s dd8d03b94a973cf11a309afcbc4d9b3a -i hour 
     Base URL omitted and no local ip specified. Using default URL https://api.mysmartgrid.de/sensor/
     Unit omitted. Using default unit watt
     Format omitted. Using default format text
     Version omitted. Setting default to 1.0
     Connecting to server and fetching data ...finished.
     Data length: 61 bytes
     Second array element is neither string or integer at entry59: [ 1328796060, "-nan" ]
     Second array element is neither string or integer at entry60: [ 1328796120, "-nan" ]
     1328792520	68
     1328792580	68
     1328792640	68
     1328792700	68
     1328792760	68
     1328792820	69
     ....
    
  3. Add a sensor definition to the store. This must be done manually because you have to specify unit and timezone of the sensor.

     $ klio-sensor create -s teststore.db -i dd8d03b94a973cf11a309afcbc4d9b3a \
       -u Watt -z MEZ -d "Line L3" 
     opened store: SQLite3 database, stored in file "teststore.db"
     added: dd8d03b94a973cf11a309afcbc4d9b3a(4c4ef5fd-cb89-4ead-8ed6-397d797b6468), 
     unit Watt, tz=MEZ, description: Unknown
    
  4. Now, use flukso-archive to create an archive:

     $ flukso-archive -s teststore.db -i \
       dd8d03b94a973cf11a309afcbc4d9b3a -t <TOKEN>
     Inserting 59 readings.
    
  5. Export sensor data:

     $ klio-export json -s teststore.db -i dd8d03b94a973cf11a309afcbc4d9b3a 
     Using stdout
     opened store: SQLite3 database, stored in file "teststore.db"

FEEDBACK

If you encounter problems, please contact the developers on the mysmartgrid developer mailing list[1]. Alternatively, the issue tracker for this library lives on github[2].

INSTALLATION

So far, the library has been successfully compiled on Ubuntu Linux 11.10, Debian Linux 6.0 and Mac OS 10.7 (Lion). The library depends on several libraries:

  1. Boost version 1.48.0 or later
  2. sqlite3
  3. pkg-config
  4. json-c
  5. curl
  6. popt
  7. libklio

The library uses CMake for compile-time configuration. A Makefile is provided which wraps the build infrastructure. A simple

$ make

should suffice to compile the library if all dependencies are available. Afterwards, you can use

$ make install

to install the library. If you prefer proper packaging, you can also build installation packages in several formats:

$ make release

builds the package with release settings (i.e. full optimization, no debug symbols) and places the created packages in the 'build' subdirectory.

BUGS

The library was developed with great care, but we cannot guarantee that no bugs are in the library. Please submit any issues using the issue tracker[2].
