Flow Meter

-
We have got the flow meter working! With some simple code, we have managed to get the flow meter reading data, which we will eventually configure to be sent to the hub. The first hurdle in our project has been cleared! Next, we plan to code & test the radios...

The code can be found on GitHub.

To preview how the local site would look in your home, please see our demo site; all of our code is available open-source on GitHub.

AI Tips

AI tips have finally made their way onto our test site, after having spent some time coding the hub to process the received data each second (using Python) and read from the files produced by this process when the tips dialog box is opened. The adjusted Python code for the hub is as follows: import os, pause from datetime import datetime def updateTips(): messages = ["outlet,message\n"] bad_usage = [] amazing_usage = [] rising_usage = [] lowering_usage = [] for file in os.listdir(os.fsencode("rates/daily")): outlet = os.fsdecode(file).replace(".csv", "") now = datetime.datetime.now() with open("totals/daily.csv", 'r') as file: data = file.readlines() line_number = [index for index, item in enumerate(data) if (outlet + ",") in item] daily_value = float(data[line_number[0]]) with open("totals/weekly.csv", 'r'...
