Want to share: diy Energy monitoring (gas / electricity) service including a plugin
Hi all,
I developed a cheap diy RESTful service for monitoring my electricity and gas meter. Although useful without I also developed a Pimatic plugin for it. Total cost is 1 dollar and it runs on the same Pi as Pimatic.
Is there any chance of getting the plugin on the Pimatic plugin webpage?
Btw, Pimatic is awesome. Thanks.
Have a nice day
@Diederich-Kroeske
wow! sounds very interesting!
i’ll add you to the developers group
regarding the question howto get the plugin to the pimatic webpage and into the plugin list @sweetpi can help.
pimatic v0.9 has been released!
Support Pimatic and get some free stickers

make it so !
very nice plugin. Could you publish it to the npm registry?
Then I can add it to the website and official plugin list.

Took me some time but here it is: https://www.npmjs.com/package/pimatic-emon
Thanks
i want to do something similar but based on the ESP-8266 (as my PI is not located near the energy meter.)
but as i also have a very old meter (1970) i only have the turning disk.
now i bought a CNY70 which in theory does the same as your idea.
it has a IR led and IR photo-transistor in 1.
I also came across your post @ tweakers forum (Dutch) http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_message/43482152#43482152
and i saw that the schema was a bit different, first ofcourse a different model of the 555 but that doesn’t change much.
But i was wondering, what are the capacitors for?
And for the CNY70 can i use the same resistors?
and 1 final question: with what (if possible) can i tweak the sensitivity of the 555 and with which one the sensitivity of the photo-transistor?
As the sensitivity is a lot more crucial when reading a turning disk instead of “catching the blink of a LED”
ps. if i’m not mistaking, the new scheme (github) will make the output high when it senses something, and the one from the forum will make it low correct?
Hope you will answer my questions!
Did someone get this thing running?
