## Scope

This document covers the software part of the reporter, although it consists of a multitude of hw technologies, please keep that in mind.

## Purpose

Delivering aggregated and comprehensive representation of data-value pairs in such a way, that even a complete idiot can read them. This project is created by AND for me.

In short, this application spins up a web server and on its address plots and displays values gathered from various sources.

An example granted: https://bastart.spoton.cz

### Sources

The sources for feeding the Plutonium include:

- Davis Vantage vue weather station (with a couple HW mods)
- Victron MPPT solar converter (Utilizing the Victron Direct RS232 protocol)
- CPU, MEM, DISK, (W)LAN statistics, plotted
- Custom ESP8266 data loggers
    - Temp / Humidity + battery logging
    - Current monitoring for LED lighting

### Discrepancies and hardware dependencies

Obviously, all the monitoring cannot be done without proper HW equipment. Although this server is primarily aimed at use on a Raspberry PI, it can be installed on an old notebook, or similar, as the platform is Python3 and thus independent of the OS.

#### Solar / MPPT

- Victron MPPT solar charge controller (Bluesolar)
- RS232 -> USB or similar, to get the data to RasPi

#### Davis Vantage Vue

- Obviously the Davis Vantage Vue weather station
- The CC1101 / wireless version
- arduino mini / Uno @ 3.3V
- CC1101 receiver with a couple other components

#### RasPI statistics

- Just the RasPI

#### ESP8266 stuff

- basically anything that can feed into the influxDB.
