Docker, MQTT, Grafana, InfluxDB and ZigbeeHome Energy Monitoring
Upping my game on home automation, I jumped into creating a Zigbee network to track real-time energy usage in my home. Starting with a BC Hydro Hub and evolving into getting a Zigbee bridge and some Zigbee smart plugs and of course collecting that in Influx/Grafana to track how my home consumes electricity.
