Measuring our electricity consumption with a Raspberry Pi

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!

Getting data from our Xiaomi Smart Scale with Raspberry Pi

If you have the Xiaomi Smart Scale scale, follow the steps in this document and you will be able to read your weight from a Raspberry Pi, by connecting via bluetooth we will store the records in a MySQL database, and so if we want we can exploit them super easily with Grafana! I will leave you with a series of documents that I think are very interesting to obtain information from different devices that control our life and visualize it in a super cool way!
