In this document we will see the necessary steps to be able to measure the electricity consumption of our homes, at the second level and with historical consumption graphs. All this from Home Assistant and ESPHome! ¡Easy, simple, and, for the whole family!
I wanted to write this post, I have been looking for a good solution for a long time, Stable and reliable… And of course, ESPHome has the answer. In this post we will see how to read the water consumption of a regular water meter, Let's go, The one we have at home; and visualize it with Home Assistant.
Well, Well… This week we bring you a new podcast, on this occasion my colleague Fede Cinalli and I will talk about certain considerations to take into account, when setting up our own LAB. As we all know, in our IT world we are nobody if we do not have a laboratory, A place where we can learn or tinker without fear, Started!
In this post we are going to try to explain how we can make a plan of our house and integrate it into Home Assistant, with the intention of integrating the devices that we already have in Hassio and giving life to the plan. It is something very attractive and above all visual, It is something they will appreciate at home, since with an image we can see the state of our home and we can interact from it with the devices that we add.
If we want to have centralized control of the licenses of our Citrix environments, we can easily do it with Centreon, as usual, we will base ourselves on a script that will run on the license server and pass its output to Centreon, this way we will know when we are going to run out of licenses and above all, we will have them under control and they will serve to justify new acquisitions.
If we still want to exploit our Nextcloud installation more and we want to know how much each user is consuming… This is your post! It's going to look great because we're going to see it directly from our Grafana!
In this post we will see how to monitor our Fortigate firewalls from a Centreon or Nagios or whatever we have 🙂. We will do it through SNMP queries and we will be able to know the status of its chassis at all times, the status of the cluster if we have one, the use and consumption of network interfaces, if we have VPNs the same, know if they fall, The sessions, etc, etc… if you have a Fortigate, This is your post!
Continuing with documents of curious things we can do with a Raspberry Pi, Something very simple to achieve is for example to measure the electricity consumption of whatever we want, In this document we will see how to connect non-invasive current sensors to a Raspberry Pi and measure the cost of our home, since we will connect it to the electrical panel of our house! We will export the metrics to a MySQL database and then with Grafana we will create a dashboard where we can see in a very intuitive way what we spend on and how much!
