What is this?
A parent and child driver combo to integrate the IoTaWatt electrical monitoring system.
INSTALLATION
Can be installed using HPM; just search for "IoTaWatt+".
Manual installation requires the parent and child drivers. All code can be found in my GitHub repo .
SETUP
Pretty straightforward.
- Install the drivers.
- On the device page, enter your IP address for the IoTaWatt hub, and hit Save.
The driver will poll the IoTaWatt hub and create child devices for each input/output automatically. The device list and attributes are updated based on the set polling frequency. The names of the child devices will match whatever the input/output is named in IoTaWatt. If a device is renamed or removed, the old child device will be deleted and, if necessary, a new one will be created for the new name.
Logging is mostly handled at the child device level. They will follow the logging preferences of the parent.
Optionally: Use in tandem with [RELEASE] Energy Cost Calculator [BETA] to calculate spending costs.
ATTRIBUTES
The following will be populated for all devices, if available:
- Current power
- Energy use for today
- Voltage (based on the 9V reference input)
- Current amp reading
