In the old hackerspace we had real-time graphs of our power-usage. In the new space at the Spoorlaan we currently don't have this yet. While it's inpossible to monitor all the power-usage by the space, as we share a lot of infrastructure with the rest of the building.
We will however be monitoring the power-usage of the main workshop space. In this room there are 3 different 16A groups (currently only 2 connected). These groups terminate in their own fusebox with a KWh meter which has a pulse-port.
These pulse-ports are connected to an arduino nano in the server-room. This arduino will then provide pulse-data on the usb port.
Current status:
- Arduino connector board: Done
- Arduino code/logic: Done
- Wiring from serverroom to KWh-meters: Done
- Wiring everything together: TODO
TODO:
- Get cable glands (Wartels)
- Get UTP splitter
- Wire everything up
- Create scripts/graphs
- Setup reverse proxy config
