Smartmeter WebThing

smart meter webthing

A smart meter web thing connector

This project provides a smart meter webthing API. It provides the software to connect an IR USB sensor

The smart meter webthing package exposes a http webthing endpoint supporting the smart meter consumption values via http. E.g.

# webthing has been started on host 192.168.0.23

curl http://192.168.0.23:7122/properties 

{
   "current_power": 389,
   "produced_power_total": 3314.7,
   "consumed_power_total": 259784.2
}

To install this software you may use PIP package manager such as shown below

sudo pip install smartmeter_webthing

After this installation you may start the webthing http endpoint inside your python code or via command line using

sudo smartmeter --command listen --port 7122 --sport /dev/ttyUSB-meter 

Here, the webthing API will use the local port 7122. Additionally, the device address of the IR sensor has to be set. To configure the device address refer setup device

Alternatively to the listen command, you can use the register command to register and start the webthing service as systemd unit. By doing this, the webthing service will be started automatically on boot time. Starting the server manually using the listen command as shown above is no longer necessary.

sudo smartmeter --command register --port 7122 --sport /dev/ttyUSB-meter
