# energy-usage

Realtime energy usage reporting from Bright MQTT feed (SEP) into InfluxDB/VictoriaMetrics. Can be installed and run via pip or docker.

## Configuration

Copy `config.yaml.example` to `config.yaml` and fill in your MQTT login details, and your influx/vm server details.
The config file should be placed into one of the following locations:

* `/etc/energy-usage/config.yaml`
* `~/.config/energy-usage/config.yaml`
* Any dir pointed at by `ENERGY-USAGEDIR` env var

## Pip usage

### Installation

pip install energy-usage

### Run

```bash
energy-usage [--debug] [--noop]
```

* `--debug` enables verbose output about what the script is doing
* `--noop` mode will retrieve stats from mqtt, and show you what would be published to influx but does not actually send anything

## Docker usage

### Build

```bash
docker build -t energy-usage:latest .
```

### Run

```bash
docker run -v config.yaml:/etc/energy-usage/config.yaml energy-usage:latest
```

## Tested with:

* Python 3
* VictoriaMetrics 1.40
