MMM-OctoMon - displays energy usage history for your Octopus Energy account

[christhomas]

Hi there! I’ve created my first module. It displays electric and gas energy usage if you have an Octopus Energy supply.

It uses’s Octopus’s public REST API to request usage history.
https://developer.octopus.energy/docs/api/

Very basic, but does the job.

Get the code on GitHub:

Inspired to create this because we’ve just bought a Nissan Leaf (full electric vehicle), and the ‘Octopus GO’ tarrif gives us cheap overnight electricity between 12:30am and 4:30am which goes a long way to charge the car! Spotted their API and thought I’d have a crack at it.

Oh and, if you sign up to Octopus with my referral code, we’ll both get £50! Yaaay!

I’ve had my magic mirror for two years now, and still going strong!

Hope someone else finds it useful!

This is great, I want to use this on my MM I am building.

I am on Go Faster so I get 5 hours @ 5.5p then the other hours at 14p, would it be possible to modify the code to handle this ?

Drew.

@droomoo I would submit an issue on the module GitHub page, to engage the author
