About

This small tool is meant for logging the electricity values from the Landis Gyr E350 electricity meter. As a bonus it also stores the gas concumption values.

Example Usage

#!/bin/bash

directoryPath="/var/log/electricity/$(date +%Y/)"
if ! [ -d "$directoryPath" ]; then
	mkdir -p "$directoryPath"
fi

outputFile="$directoryPath$(date +%m_%d.txt)"
if ! [ -f "$outputFile" ]; then
	touch "$outputFile"
fi

datestr="$(date +%Y-%m-%dT%T)"
electricity-logger -c "$datestr" /dev/ttyUSB0 >> "$outputFile"

Use the --help switch for more information about the possible arguments electricity-logger can take.
