CSVDataStore and Metadata Questions #29

Open suni9915 opened 7 years ago

suni9915 commented 7 years ago

I'd like to use NILMTK for my own input data from the smart plug. I've read some of the document but still confused about the CSVDataStore and Metadata.

My input data is in CSV file format and I intend to match it to the REDD dataset format and use the REDD converter to convert it to HDF5 format. Do I have to implement the CSVDatastore before running the REDD converter? And about the metadata that I have to build for my own data, is there any tool to help building it? Thank you very much.

No. See: https://github.com/nilmtk/nilmtk/blob/master/nilmtk/dataset_converters/redd/convert_redd.py

And about the metadata that I have to build for my own data, is there any tool to help building it?

We don't have a tool yet. However, it shouldn't take long to write the metadata by hand. How many buildings/meters do you have?
