Open Energy Monitor Raspberry Pi

The system is fully open source both hardware and software.

Open energy monitor raspberry pi.

Data can be logged locally to the raspberry pi s sd card and or to a remote emoncms server. Compatiable with all raspberry pi models. Emoncms graphs and dashboards can be served from the raspberry pi s web server. Emonpi home energy monitor version.

With the addition of an rfm12pi expansion board a raspberry pi running emoncms can be used as a powerful emonbase base station to log process and visualise energy temperature and other environmental data. Open source energy monitoring tools to help us relate to our use of energy our energy systems and the challenge of sustainable energy. An all in one 2 circuit energy monitor and base station which collects data hosts the emoncms software and can also receive data from other sensor nodes. Introducing the openenergymonitor system.

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. Like raspberry pi they manufacture their hardware in wales and send it to people all over the world. Openenergymonitor who make open source tools for energy monitoring have been using raspberry pi since we launched in 2012.

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. In this article we are going to monitor the energy consumption current of some circuits in a home or business through raspberry pi. Communicates with the raspberry pi via internal uart dev ttyama0 38400 baud. All hardware is based on the arduino and raspberry pi platforms.
