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!
Post to continue completing our home automation system, Or it can be interesting if you intend to set up a weather station… Today it's time for a rain gauge, at the end of the document we will know how to measure the volume of rain and be able to visualize it in Home Assistant, or perform some automation…
Another curiosity that we can do with monitoring is to be able to measure the bandwidth of our organization's Internet connection. Very simply, using a script we can do a speed test with a nearby server and monitor it with Centreon, We will be able to receive alerts as long as the bandwidth is lower than the values we are interested in!
If you feel like measuring wind speed using a Raspberry Pi, This is your document! You may be thinking of setting up a weather station and this is an important issue, TRUE? We will use a script and a specific anemometer and super fast we will have it set up. Apart from, As you already know me, I will export the measurements to a MySQL database and then visualize it with Grafana!
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!
If we are interested in controlling the load on the disks of our Windows servers, we will be able to monitor it simply thanks to a simple PowerShell that we will run through NRPE. We will obtain read and write latencies, Number of reads and writes per second, as well as the read and write ratio in MB/s and also the read queue time & writing!
