Weekly energy reports delivered to your inbox.
This module can be used to setup a weekly email report of home consumption and solar generation if you are monitoring solar.
The module is currently installed on emoncms.org and can be found under the Extras tab top-right:
In the configuration interface you can enter an email title so that you can differentiate between report emails from different emoncms.org accounts such as a home energy monitor account and a office energy monitor account.
Up to 5 email addresses can be entered for work colleagues, family members, friends.
The email generator needs a cumulative kwh consumption feed (and solar if applicable), the same type of feed as used by the emoncms app module:
Click on 'Send test email' to check that it all works.
The weekly process that runs this at present runs at around 9am on Monday UTC time.
UK renewable energy To make the emails a bit more interesting there is a section on UK renewable energy in the last week which gives a quick overview of how much solar, wind and hydro was generated.
Symlink the web part of the emailreport module into emoncms/Modules, if not using Raspberry Pi replace 'pi' with your home folder name:
ln -s /home/user/emailreport/emailreport-module /var/www/emoncms/Modules/emailreport
