Welcome

OpenEnergyMonitor is a project to develop open-source energy monitoring tools. These tools can be used to help us relate to our use of energy, our energy systems and the challenge of sustainable energy. 

Our main focus at the moment is developing an end-to-end open-source energy monitoring system that is Arduino IDE compatible:

 

 

The openenergymonitor system is made up of four main parts: emonTx  |  emonGLCD  |  emonBase  |  emoncms. These can be assembled and configured to work for a variety of applications from a home energy monitor to solar PV import/export monitoring and more.

This is an open source collaborative project and we welcome your involvement. Through open source collaborative innovation we can make great technology.

We have started to create a series of pages that outline our short term development plans and also longer term wish list of features that would be great to have. If you could help us with any of these items that would be very helpful. It is also likely that we have not thought of everything and so if you have an idea for a feature, please propose your idea on these pages or just go ahead and do it and then post on the forums about your work.
