In this application we will setup a CE current monitor with a Raspberry Pi and display current readings for circuits through a web interface Story Introduction In this Article we are going to monitor the energy consumption (current) of some circuits in a home or business through Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi will connect to …
New co-authored paper demonstrates potential ten-fold energy density increase over existing lithium-ion battery technologies. Scientists from Honda Research Institute have collaborated with researchers at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to develop a new battery chemistry that enables the use of materials with higher energy density and a more favorable environmental …
Researchers Develop new Battery chemistry with 10X More Energy Density over Lithium Continue Reading
The Purpose (Mission) Monitor, archive and analyze energy consumption in the house Visualize historical consumption data Access data remotely from Web Eventually include data from other sensors, like temperature, pressure, humidity, motion, light, security, etc. UPDATE: Temperature/Pressure sensors added: Additional Sensors for Home Energy Monitor 2. Components Concept based on OpenEnergyMonitor project Hardware based on Arduino …
Step 1: Components list The Particle Core (a.k.a. Spark Core) module This comes in a nice little kit with a breadboard and USB lead. You can buy one direct from Particle at https://store.particle.io/, from Adafruit, or in the UK the cheapest I’ve found is from CPC. There are two versions of the Core – one …
The basic idea of this project was to turn off a number of lights in a convenient store when the ambient sunlight is sufficient to keep the brightness level above the store’s minimum brightness standard. Here’s a diagram of the system The main compenents of this project are as follows: Three ambient light sensors were used. …
Introduction Following on from using a Raspberry Pi to capture the electricity consumption of my home, I have over the last 2 years installed Solar Thermal Hot Water panels and very recently Solar PV. This meant that I had an opportunity to create something I had been looking to do for a while – an …
