Release 1.1.2

Meter Reader is a client library and command line client for retrieving
nearly realtime energy usage data from a smart meter via the Eagle™ Home
Energy Gateway. See
`Rainforest™ Automation <http://www.rainforestautomation.com>`_ for more
about the Eagle™ Home Energy Gateway.

Meter Reader is not affiliated with the Eagle™ Home Energy Gateway or
Rainforest™ Automation.

Installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install meter-reader

Usage
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meter Reader is intended to be used as a library for other applications
but it does contain a command line application called mr.

.. code-block:: bash

$ mr < ip address >

This will run the ``list_devices`` devices command on the gateway and display
a formatted response. Other commands, such as ``get_device_data``, will first
run the ``list_devices`` command to determine the MAC address of the gateway.

Commands can be specified with the `'-c'` option. For example

.. code-block:: bash

$ mr -c get_device_data < ip address >

There are two ways to retrieve instantaneous demand:

1. Send the ``get_instantaneous_demand`` command directly to the gateway. This
will return a nearly raw response from the gateway (formatting is applied).

.. code-block:: bash

$ mr -c get_instantaneous_demand < ip address >

Demand 297

SuppressLeadingZero Y

2. Supply the ``--get-instant-demand`` argument. This will post-process the
response before displaying it.

.. code-block:: bash

$ mr --get-instant-demand < ip address >

2014-04-19 15:58:39+00:00, 0.292kW

Raw and unformatted data returned by the gatway, can be viewed by using the
`'-r'` option.

.. code-block:: bash

$ mr -r -c get_device_data < ip address >

Including Meter Reader in an application
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.. code-block:: python

from meter_reader import Gateway

GATEWAY_ADDRESS = '192.168.1.10'

gw = Gateway(GATEWAY_ADDRESS)
response = gw.run_command('get_device_data')
print('Network Info')
print(response['NetworkInfo'])

timestamp, demand = gw.get_instantaneous_demand()
print('Demand {0!s} at {1!s}'.format(demand, timestamp))
