Default Real time consumption

As said in a couple messages, I ordered an assembly to get my real time consumption from the electricity meter.

I moved the spare laptop, plugged a wifi USB key, recompiled the kernel to get the wifi driver, plugged the assembly, recompiled the kernel to get the serial USB driver, wrote a couple rrdtool scripts, waited a couple days and obtained this



More information this week-end.

Tomorrow evening I should plug the assembly on the production meter and measure the PV production Friday as it should be a sunny day If it works then I'll order a second assembly to have both meters recorded in real time

As the protocol is full of French words or keywords based upon French words, this shouldn't work on US meters...
