Integrate IAMMETER energy monitor into PVoutput

1. Introduction

PVOutput is a free service for sharing and comparing live solar panel output and energy consumption data. By installing our WiFi energy meter in your solar PV system, you can easily integrate your PV data to PVOutput through the meter's open API.

2. Key features of WiFi energy meter

• Measure bi-directional (from grid and to grid) power and energy by same meter
• The meter's measurement can be read via WiFi LAN thourgh open API
• The meter's readings (voltage, current, power, forward power, reverse power) are refreshed every 20 seconds.

3. Code examples

3.1 API description

For more API, please refer to the local API of IAMMETER`s energy meter

api url: ip/monitorjson

method: http get

3.2 Python code example

Python Code on Github

import requests
 
url = "http://ip/monitorjson" 
 
headers={'Authorization':'Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4='}
 
response = requests.request("get", url, headers=headers)
 
print(response.text)

{"status":"succeed","data":[234.00,6.235,1423,1222.67,0.00]}

voltage:234 V

current:6.25 A

active power:1433 W

import energy:1222.67 Kwh

export energy:0 Kwh

4. Integrate the data to PVOutput

PVOutput:https://www.pvoutput.org Github Link: https://github.com/lewei50/iammeter/

import wem
import PVOutput
import json
meter=wem.wem3162('http://192.168.1.8')
'''
one phase(wem3162 wem3080) meter response
{"status":"succeed","data":[235.00,1.214,189,1265.17,0.00]} 
'''

print (meter.monitorjson())
(vol,cur,power,importE,exportE)=meter.json2parameter()
print ("vol:%dV\r\ncur:%fA\r\npower:%dw\r\nimportEnergy:%fKWH\r\nexportEnergy:%fKWH\r\n"%(vol,cur,power,importE,exportE))
pv=PVOutput.PVOutputApi('siteNumber','api-key')

'''
#pvo = PVOutput.PVOutputApi("deviceId", "apiKey")
#pvo.add_status(
energy_generation,
power_generation,
energy_consumption,
power_consumption,
temperature,
voltage,
cumulative_flag,
net_flag)
#pvo.add_status(100,200,None,None,None,None,None,None)
'''

pv.add_status(importE,power,None,None,None,vol,1,None)
