dvm-mesura 1.1.4

Home automation monitoring suite for energy (HomeWizard), weather (OpenWeatherMap), and heating (Honeywell Evohome)

dvm-mesura - Home Automation Monitoring Suite

A comprehensive monitoring solution for home automation systems with energy meter polling, weather data collection, and SQLite storage.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

This project uses uv for dependency management.

# Install dependencies and create virtual environment
uv sync

# Install dependencies and create virtual environment
uv sync

# Run interactive setup to create .env
uv run mesura-all --setup

Configuration

Required .env File

Create a .env file in the monitor directory:

# Evohome Credentials
EVOHOME_EMAIL=[e-mail]
EVOHOME_PASSWORD=your_password_here

# OpenWeatherMap API
OPENWEATHER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

API Configuration

Energy Meter: Edit API_URL in src/dvm_mesura/energymeter.py:

API_URL = "http://p1meter-231dbe.local./api/v1/data"

Features and Usage

1. Energy Meter Polling

Continuously polls P1 Energy Meter API and logs data to SQLite and CSV.

Features:

• Configurable polling intervals (10s to 120m)
• CSV output with automatic flattening of nested JSON
• SQLite database for time-series analysis
• On-screen table display with key metrics
• Interactive keyboard controls ('L' for header)

Usage:

# Default poll (1 minute)
uv run mesura-energy

2. Weather Data Collection

Fetches weather data from OpenWeatherMap API and correlates with heating data.

Features:

• OpenWeatherMap API integration
• CSV and SQLite logging with timestamps
• Configurable polling intervals
• Weather condition tracking

Usage:

# Default poll (10 minutes)
uv run mesura-weather

3. Room Temperature Polling

Fetches temperature data from Honeywell Evohome API.

Features:

• Evohome TCC API integration
• CSV and SQLite logging for room-level data
• Standardized CLI arguments

Usage:

# Default poll (5 minutes)
uv run mesura-evohome

Unified vs Separate Databases

By default, all monitors share a single database:

• sqlite3 data/monitor.db

Alternatively, you can use separate databases per monitor:

uv run mesura-all --separate

Command Line Overrides

All environment variables can be overridden via CLI flags:

• --weather-key: OpenWeatherMap API Key
• --evohome-user: Evohome Username
• --evohome-pass: Evohome Password
• --lat / --lon: Location coordinates
• --data-dir: Data storage path

Auxiliary Scripts

mesura-combine-db

If you previously used separate databases or legacy scripts (e.g., weatherdata.db, rooms.db) and wish to migrate this historical data into the unified tracking file, use the utility script:

uv run mesura-combine-db --data-dir data --target-db monitor.db

This script intelligently automatically detects legacy databases matching predefined mappings (e.g., transferring rooms.db:readings into monitor.db:evohome). It inserts data while avoiding duplicate timestamps.

mesura-combine-csv

If you have legacy CSV files (energy.csv, weatherdata.csv, temp.csv, etc.) and want to migrate their data into the unified SQLite database, you can use:

uv run mesura-combine-csv --data-dir data --target-db monitor.db

Similar to the database merging script, it maps these CSVs to the appropriate tables (energy, weather, evohome) and automatically skips duplicate records based on timestamps.

mesura-export-csv

If you want to extract the data stored in the unified SQLite database back into raw CSV format (e.g., for external backups or analysis), you can use the export script. This script reads the tables from monitor.db and overwrites energy.csv, weather.csv, and evohome.csv in the data directory using identical database schemas.

uv run mesura-export-csv --data-dir data --source-db monitor.db

mesura-show

To quickly inspect the latest data in the database, you can use the mesura-show command. It displays the most recent rows for each table (energy, weather, evohome) in CSV format. By default, it shows the last 5 rows.

# Show the last 5 rows of all tables
uv run mesura-show

# Show the last 10 rows
uv run mesura-show -n 10

# Show a specific table
uv run mesura-show --table energy

This creates:

• sqlite3 data/energy.db
• sqlite3 data/weather.db
• sqlite3 data/evohome.db
