Pi4 on its way.


 

Ok, elmers. My Pi4 (8GB) is on its way this week. Is Alan's image still the latest image with FRStacks or is there another version with the latest flows (wsjtx lister i.e)? Or shall I add flows individually?

Old Pi3, will be used to monitor electricity among other things. Does anybody know any UPS and power strips that can be used with node red To monitor consumption within a reasonable budget?

I work with data for work. May be a little over the top for your question.
I use a S31 flashed with Tasmota reporting to server via MQTT.

Costs ~US$20.? Make sure the model has energy monitoring.
Direct CN:
Also available on Ebay and Amazon.

An alternative is many ESP8266 wifi power strips can use a native company supplied app, or can be flashed with Tasmota firmware.

My setup with Tasmota:
You can access directly from webserver.
I use with a MQTT broker (RPI 0) with NodeRed sending data to InfluxDB (database) using Grafana (visualization tool).

Direct from S31 via router.


Grafana view.
This is a PC monitored with S31. Basically 1.1KW/day for FT8 monitor (i5-4th Gen) with a SDRplay radio. Notice about 1500, I rebooted PC and forgot to restart FT8 monitoring.

Thanks Mike for the information and details. Appreciate it. Will look into it and I?m sure that if I get stuck somewhere you all will help me :-)

This opens up a whole more options.

NodeRed Newby here, and I am looking for a Raspberry Pi image that I can download and install on my Pi4 to get NodeRed up and running?? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

I can give you access to my image, but honestly, if you already have a Pi up and running, and you have it configured with your preferences and log in information, it seems better to just install Node-Red on your operating system.

Go to the terminal application on the Raspberry Pi desktop or start an SSH terminal program, connected?to the Pi, and follow the commands from this web site:



Note: be sure to run this command first, described later in the instructions: ? ?sudo apt install build-essential git

If you want, contact?me offline and I will give you access to my image.

Pi4 is at home, I just put the pieces together, but have not installed it yet nor have copied any image. Pi3 is working so fine that I don?t want to mess things up.
