In this article we are going to monitor the energy consumption current of some circuits in a home or business through raspberry pi.
Open energy monitor raspberry pi.
We invited co founder glyn hudson to tell us why they do what they do and how raspberry pi helps.
The emonpi is a web connected open hardware raspberry pi and arduino based electricity and environment monitoring unit.
Openenergymonitor who make open source tools for energy monitoring have been using raspberry pi since we launched in 2012.
Introducing the openenergymonitor system.
Emonpi solar pv version includes 2 x clip on ct sensors includes ac ac voltage sensor adapter for detection of current flow direction and accurate real power measurements the emonpi is an open hardware raspberry pi and arduino based web connected energy and environment monitoring unit.
Pre assembled open hardware electricity temperature and humidity monitoring units based on the arduino and raspberry pi platforms.
Communicates with the raspberry pi via internal uart dev ttyama0 38400 baud.
Data can be logged locally to the raspberry pi s sd card and or to a remote emoncms server.
The rfm69pi expansion board enables a raspberry pi to receive and send data via wireless from other openenergymonitor modules e g emontx v3 emonth etc via rfm69cw or rfm12b backwards compatiable 433 868 mhz.
Compatiable with all raspberry pi models.
Emoncms graphs and dashboards can be served from the raspberry pi s web server.
Like raspberry pi they manufacture their hardware in wales and send it to people all over the world.
All hardware is based on the arduino and raspberry pi platforms.
Emonpi home energy monitor version.
The system is fully open source both hardware and software.
