Context: Residential address in Australia 6kW on-roof solar currently no local energy storage
Hello to the SLS Community
As someone somewhat new to home energy monitoring, I'm hoping to leverage the knowledgewithin this community.
I haveexperience with the 'Embermeter' provided by our solar installer, and data-dumps from the SMA Sunny Boy inverter I had at a previous address. The Emberxxxxx ecosystemhasa pretty slick web interface, but it's limited and I believe designed for the casual enthusiast rather than someone with a passion for going deeper(ie. it's limited to: display of15 minintervals /fixed number of monitored channels / can'texport captured data /can't set alarms or alerts / etc).
UltimatelyI'd like:
powermonitoring of each fused circuit at the property (including three supplies two from grid and one from solar)
configurablesampling rates and local / cloudstorage of data
ability to export captured data (csv, or similar)
ability to expand system down the track to show stats from alocal battery storage system (most likely COTS, rather than DIY)
possibility to use 'recipes' (thinkIFTTT) to trigger relay outputs ie. to switch loads between solar / lower tariff circuits to optimise for on-siteproduction / demand
Cloud based data viewing and setup(through webpage / mobile app)
Could run on a local machine Raspberry Pi or similar low impact PC would be fine
I really like the work the DIY community is doing in the battery storage, and love watching vids of people's projects. I appreciate that I'm skating around the edges of DIY, but nevertheless hoping I've found a group of people who may be willing to help out. Let me know if there areany furtherdetailsthat I can provide.
Thank You!
