# kWhack

Etymology: *Kilowatt hour acknowledgment* or *kWh hack*. 

A simple power consumption tracker running on a Raspberry Pi 

and using a simple LDR rig connected to the GPIO pins.

**This is a very much a project in development. Do not expect it to be 

functional without a lot of work...**

## Installation

```bash

$ pip install git+https://github.com/hbldh/kwhack#egg=kwhack

```

## Usage

1. Build this [LDR rig](https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-light-sensor/).

2. Connect to Raspberry Pi, and attach the LDR to the 

blinking light on the power central.

3. Create a MongoDB server and store the URI as environment 

variable `MONGODB_URI` on the Raspberry Pi.  

4. Run `f47-server` and `f47-client`.
