Introduction

The smart metering system is designed to monitor and share domestically generated power, such as solar or wind energy, within a community. It provides users with real-time insights into their energy production and consumption while facilitating the efficient distribution of excess power through a P2P network.

Features

• Real-time monitoring of energy production and consumption
• Sharing of excess domestically generated power within a community
• Secure data transmission between smart meters and the server
• Peer-to-peer communication for decentralized energy sharing
• Detailed usage and production reports and analytics
• Written in C for performance-critical components
• Python scripts for data analysis and visualization

Installation

Prerequisites

• Arduino IDE v2.x.x
• Python 3.x
• Git

Steps

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/smart-meter-p2p-server.git
   cd smart-meter-p2p-server

2. Compile and upload using the Arduino IDE

   cd meter

3. Set up the web server

   cd ../web
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   cd web_flask
   python app.py

Data Analysis and Visualization (coming soon)

Python scripts for data analysis and visualization can be found in the analysis directory. To generate a report, run:

cd analysis
python generate_report.py
