A solar monitoring dashboard for your Adafruit MagTag.

Usage/Examples

Copy code.py and bmps folder to your magtag device.

API response

The program expects the json to have these properties when it requests the url provided to the gist property in secrets.py:

{
    "consumed": 200.8,
    "generated": 14281.4,
    "diff": 14080.6,
    "total": {
        "consumed": 7472.8718,
        "generated": 62460.1293,
        "exported": 54987.2575
    },
    "sunrise": "6:00AM",
    "sunset": "6:21PM",
    "t_stamp": "2023-02-15 13:50:00"
}

Secrets.py

The MagTag program will call out to the secrets.py file which needs to contain the following information:

secrets = {
    'ssid' : '',
    'password' : '',
    'aio_username' : '',
    'aio_key' : '',
    'timezone' : "Australia/Melbourne", # http://worldtimeapi.org/timezones
    'gist': ""
}

The first 4 properties are required for the device to function. The last 2 are for this solar dashboard.
