A programm to control a smart electricity plug depending on data from FusionSolar solar panel data.

Requirements:

• Python 3

A cron job will be set to execute main.py every 5 minutes. The program will retrieve solar panel production data and shelly status and log this info. If the conditions are satisfied, the ShellyPlug relay will be set to switch on, else, switch off.

Program was initially written to work constantly, but to save system resources as the intended machine doesn't have many a cron job will be made to take care of it.

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/eduardsosh/outlet_controller.git
cd outlet_controller

Now you can use manage.sh to start or stop the program:

./manage.sh start # This will install, run and create cron job

To stop the script use:

./manage.sh stop # Will remove the cron job
