How it works
If you have a smart meter, this meter is continuously sharing energy data. The default information it shares is the amount of kWh of electricity & m3 of gas that is used, with a precision of 20 seconds.
Right now the data is shared with your net deliverer. With OEHU it's possible to own your own data.
It's fairly easy: You connect a Raspberry Pi to your smart meter using an USB cable. After configuration it sends the data to a shared database in which you stay owner of yóur data. You'll instantly have access to your real time, personalized dashboard.

You will need a Raspberry Pi, that you connect to your smart meter. At the first time you configure some basic things. After that the Pi will autonomously upload your energy data to a decentralized database. You stay owner of your data, and you'll have instantly access to a live & personal dashboard. That's it!
