enerflux retrieves current data from getfresh.energy and stores it to influxdb. getfresh.energy does not offer an official API. enerflux uses same method as the their own web application (customer portal) does to retrieve the data.
You need an account at getfresh.energy.
enerflux works on Windows, too. This description only mentions Linux and also works on MacOS and FreeBSD (other BSDs as well). This has the reason that I don't have a windows system for testing.
Build it on your own from source or download binary from latest release. Release binaries are build with the following command: go build -ldflags "-s -w"
To use enerflux, copy the binary for example to /usr/local/bin/ and make it executable.
$ sudo cp enerflux /usr/local/bin/
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/enerflux
# use flags to provide all needed information
$ enerflux -h
enerflux can and should safely be run as a non-privileged user. Create one or use an existing.
If you are on Linux and you want to use systemd to maintain enerflux, simply copy the files from repositories systemd folder to /etc/systemd/system/ and enable it:
# copy service file to systemd folder
$ sudo cp enerflux.service /etc/systemd/system/
# passwords are sensitive information and should only be accessible by root
$ sudo chmod 600 /etc/systemd/system/enerflux.service
# enable and start it
$ sudo systemctl enable enerflux.service
$ sudo systemctl start enerflux.service
# show logs
$ sudo journalctl -u enerflux
Change username, working directory, path to executable and all command line parameters in enerflux.service file to your needs.
