3 ways to monitor your home’s energy usage with a Raspberry Pi #piday #raspberrypi

Did you know the Pi can help keep your home running efficiently? XDA goes over 3 ways to monitor energy use: Smart plugs and Home Assistant, Clamp sensor and Python scripts, and Prometheus and Grafana setup.

Outfitting your home lab with the coolest paraphernalia on the market can be a thrilling experience, if not for the scourge of energy bills. As such, it’s a wise idea to start monitoring your energy consumption when you don’t want your sky-high electricity bills to put a damper on your monthly budget.

If you’re proficient with Raspberry Pi programming, you can put your lean, mean, green board to good use as the core of the energy monitoring system. Better yet, there are quite a few ways to build this project, ranging from simple HASS systems to complex setups involving clamp sensors and Python scripts.
