ESB smart meter data script

    Hello,

    I spent a few hours yesterday (with the help of ChatGPT 🙈) writing a script that downloads my latest smart meter stats from ESB. I have an EV that I charge overnight at home, and I wanted to keep track of our electricity usage. It was also convenient to figure out what electricity provider can offer the cheapest rates based on usage patterns.

    Here's my script https:// gist.github .com/schlan/f72d823dd5c1c1d19dfd784eb392dded

    I run it once a day on a Raspberry PI and store the received data in an InfluxDB. For now, the script is working, but there's no guarantee that it will continue working in the future.

    I hope it's useful for some,

    Sebastian

    This is great thank you for this.

    I don’t have solar so should I leave the code as is and divide usage by 2 ?
