Client for the Powerpal Readings API

https://readings.powerpal.net (https://www.powerpal.net)

Device

The Powerpal is a small Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device that reads the flashes of the LED on a smart electricity meter and allows for a realtime view of power consumption in the home.

App

The Powerpal mobile app, when paired with a Powerpal device:

• displays current and historic power consumption
• includes challenges and advice
• forwards meter readings to the cloud; and
• can provide a signed download link for up to 90 days of usage history

The Missing Link

It is currently not possible for a Powerpal end user to view their usage data outside of the app without manually creating an export link for each 90 day period, then loading the provided CSV data into a visualisation tool of their choice.

This repo was created to allow for regular retrieval of the latest uploaded readings so they can be loaded into a local DB for:

• long term storage
• visualization on a private home dashboard
• triggering home automation actions
