Black_Knight wrote: » Does the Owl have any integrations? Any APIs to hit? I've home assistant doing all my home automation and metrics gathering, so ideally i'd get something which works with that. Shelly energy monitor crossed my mind too. I want to be able to pull data from it and store it on a local DB I have. From where I can display everything in Grafana, where all my other metrics are.

I realise that this could have been done without the Owl but using the Owl just made things so much more convenient,
