Ein weiteres LaMetric IoT Script – Stromsteuerung

Da ich momentan Urlaub habe, ist hier ein weiterer Artikel der aber nichts mit Virtualisierung zu tun hat …

I combined my new „gadgets“ the LaMetric time and my new wifi Smart-Plug from MyStrom. The goal was to report the current power consumption of power plug and the possibility to control the plug with the smart ticker.

MyStrom has a very straight forward API (https://mystrom.ch/en/mystrom-api), and the possibility to create apps for LaMetric is pretty easy what I’ve already mentioned in an past blog post.

All what is needed to implement this solution is:

  • a web server which can parse PHP
  • two small scripts
  • and a private app for LaMetric

This is the script to see the current power consumption:

{
    "frames": [
        {
            "index": 0,
            "text": "  Watt",
            "icon": "i1692"
        }
    ]
}

I just read the content from the API, which is already in JSON format, but I reformat it that it is in that way which I need to bring it to the LaMetric.
This is the script to control the power outlet:


And the LaMetric private app:

This simple poll app call the script on the webserver (192.168.1.20) with the parameter of the MyStrom plug (192.168.1.59).

On button action the controller script is launched with change the status (off to on or visa verse)

myStromApp-mini

(192.168.1.59 is the ip of my Power outlet. 192.168.1.20 is the address of my web server, this can be a raspberry pi or a Synology.)
