This project is being developed by:

Trystan Lea. Hello and welcome, I started the openenergymonitor project in early 2009 during the last year of my Physics degree out of an interest in developing open source technologies that help us live in a more sustainable way. Inspired by such projects as the reprap project, fablabs and arduino project and the philosophy behind the free and open source software and maker movement I wanted to get involved and make a contribution. It has been really great to see this project taken on by so many people around the world and to be joined and helped throughout by good friends.

The main thing I have been working on recently dev wise is emoncms a web application to process, store and visualise energy data. Please download it and check it out here. I have also been helping Glyn with the firmware side of emontx and the emonBase.

I also share in the work of maintaining this site and am happy to answer questions and comments.

I live in snowdonia, north wales. If you would like to come and visit, see our setup here at oem labs, get in touch:

Glyn Hudson I joined Trystan Lea working full time on the OpenEnergyMonitor project in 2010 when I finished an MEng degree in Electronic Engineering at Warick University. I have been working on developing real-time displays (emonGLCD), temperature monitoring, bee-hive monitoring, wireless transmission and the emonTx. I am also a keen rock climber and write regular blog about my adventures: http://adventuresplusnorthwales.blogspot.com/

Suneil Tagore   After my MSc in 2007 whilst working on climate modelling, I met Trystan and we had come across various open source hardware projects, from Arduino to RepRap! Felt very enthusiastic to start working on this collaborative project to create tools for measuring and visualising energy in its various forms, building upon and contributing to the developments of many others in the open source domain. Previously spent the past 10+ years working in engineering and software development: prototyping biofeedback systems with Tessella (Cambridge) and more recently small scale renewable energy.  Currently focusing on remote wind monitoring systems and digital fabrication methods for localised hi-tech production/manufacturing at the Centre for Alternative Technology.

Occasional progress of this can be found at:  www.digitalfabcat.blogspot.com

Carlos Alonso Gabizó is a open source developer based at the Center for Alternative Technology in CAT and is working on emoncms.

Ken Boak has developed the Nanode. The Nanode is an open source Arduino-like board that has in-built web connectivity. The Nanode is a core component in our emonBase web-connected base station.  Click here for the Nanode homepage

When not developing Nanodes Ken is also a freelance electronics engineer working with microcontrollers, telecoms and low power wireless. Applications include energy saving, renewable energy and communications aids for the disabled. Ken keeps a blog of his developments here: sustainable suburbia

Amin Zayani is developing and determined to launch a commercial product (DIY-Drones business model, more or less) that is based on the open energy monitor. It will be sold in kit, assembled or even installed. This device, code name "Kirikou", will be available starting Q3 2011 hopefully. The business will be based in Berlin, shipping everywhere. Read more about how this started here or visit Amin's blog: www.blogbouha.com or the website of his baby-business : www.optimabals.de

 

 

To participate

Please feel free to join in and share your thoughts and ideas on this project. There is a lot of scope for developing new applications and real world case studies; posting your findings here is most welcome in this collaborative project.

  1. Register on the openenergymonitor website, it is a semi-wiki site, you can create your own profile and add/edit content and comment as usual.
  2. Join the forums, were trying to use the forums more than the comment threads as it makes it easier to find topics. But then the comment threads are also useful as they link directly to the content of the page...
  3. Add your blog: if you have your own energy monitoring project blog please let us know and we can add you to the recent blog posts feed.
