Given the great need of energy saving due to the rising price of KW, and try to educate the consumer smart energy companies. We look for preventive monitoring systems electricity consumption, so that this can be a more correct action and make optimum use of electricity. So this project is focused on developing a system to acquire electric measurements, and so can make a cost estimate equivalent considering relevant rates to calculate their cost. In the market there are many proprietary solutions (not open) that involve a high cost additional licenses, which are often not tolerable for the company, so we aim to provide an open system which can integrate different solutions into a single hardware system for monitoring and analysis of both measures to be totally flexible to implement integrations with web services that use rise from websites, mobile applications in mobile and tablets. As well as being flexible also be integrated with other hardware solutions for the electric measurements, and thus provide a comprehensive and open solution.

The server needs a basic configuration file called lector.ini, same as:
[General]
log_level=debug
auto_start=yes
log_dir=logThis configuration determines is lectorSrv autostart or not, and configure main log level and/or log dir.
For start the server process for adquisition data you need create an configure device configuration file (config.xml), at the same directory of the server, like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

</equips>Can start may server process with lector.py main program, this type of start working in foreground mode and waiting a Ctrl+C signal for interrupt all processes, used on development environments.
For install server as windows service you need use lectorSvc.py, this uses a Win32 API for install, start, stop and uninstall process. Needs copy lector.ini initial configuration file to Windows directory.
Simple command line shell for sends commands to server.
Based on PyQt library, and can connect to a server and reads al measurements of all power analizers in realtime. Can control aquisition server: Pause and resume remotely.
This a simple python library for connect to server and control.
- comm: Defines primitive methods with TCP socket client.
- client: Defines different method server calls.
This part of project contains a Django application that manage central database for collect all data from different Lector Servers and have an REST webservice implemented with Django-Tastypie.
This API allows the servers to send the readings to the central server for later analysis. This API have two differnet calls:
- GET /ws/v2/history/load
- POST /ws/v2/history/save
The lector server uses POST save method for send all measurements to this service.
