Stale link in Wiki for current measurement option--no hardware available? #1096

Closed w-u-2-o closed 5 months ago

w-u-2-o commented 5 months ago

Steps to Reproduce

Access Wiki at this link: https://github.com/jgyates/genmon/wiki/1----Software-Overview#gencthatpy-optional

Click on link to pintsize.me site to order hardware.

Manually go to pintsize.me; no matching or equivalent product is found.

Expected Result

Link to necessary hardware not stale.

Necessary hardware available on pintsize.me

Would very much like to add a current measurement capability via the option--is any suitable hardware available?

Actual Result

Link brings up a page that says "Invalid Ols Service Slug".

Manual search of pintsize.me does not reveal any hats that would accept a current transformer input.

I can update the wiki page.

If you have an Evolution controller you may be able to get close to the accurate readings by tuning the values read from the controller.

I don't think this product is sold any longer. An alternate way to import current or power readings into genmon is to us the genmqttin addon. This will allow you to use any sensor as long as it supports MQTT. The way this would work is that the sensor would export it's readings into an MQTT broker and genmon would read the data from an MQTT broker.

I am going to close this issue, but if you have questions feel free to post to this thread.

Thanks for the fast and comprehensive reply!

Sadly, it's a Nexus here. But the MQTT method shouldn't be too difficult.
