# 🌿 EcoDash
|
|
[](https://woodpecker.massivebox.net/massivebox/ecodash)
|
|
|
|
EcoDash is a simple way to show your users how much your server consumes.
|
|
It's intended as a medium of transparency, that gives your users an idea about the consumption of your machine. It's not meant to be 100% accurate.
|
|
|
|
You can see it in action here: https://ecodash.massivebox.net
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- A working HomeAssistant installation
|
|
- An energy consumption sensor, such as a [smart plug](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003188500978.html), to which your server is plugged in and connected.
|
|
- CO2 Signal added as integration into HomeAssistant
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
#### Using Docker run:
|
|
```
|
|
touch config.json
|
|
docker run -v ./config.json:/app/config.json --name ecodash -p 8080:80 gitea.massivebox.net/massivebox/ecodash
|
|
```
|
|
This will open the container on port 8080. Replace "8080" in the command with whatever number you want to open that specific port.
|
|
|
|
#### Using Docker Compose:
|
|
Create a file `docker-compose.yml` with the following content:
|
|
```
|
|
version: '3'
|
|
services:
|
|
ecodash:
|
|
container_name: ecodash
|
|
image: gitea.massivebox.net/massivebox/ecodash
|
|
ports:
|
|
- '8080:80'
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- ./config.json:/app/config.json
|
|
restart: always
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Run the container with
|
|
```
|
|
touch config.json
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
This will open the container on port 8080. Replace "8080" in the file with whatever number you want to open that specific port.
|
|
|
|
#### Using the binary
|
|
Grab a binary from the Releases page and run it. You can use the `PORT` environment variable to override the default port (80).
|
|
|
|
## Set up
|
|
|
|
As soon as you navigate to the container's exposed port, you will see the admin dashboard, there you will have to fill all fields to get EcoDash running.
|
|
|
|
- **HomeAssistant's base URL**: the base URL which you use to access HomeAssistant on your server. It should be something like `http://INTERNAL_IP_ADDRESS:8123/` or `https://homeassistant.youdomain.com/`.
|
|
- **HomeAssistant's API Key:** Get it by going into your HomeAssistant profile settings (at `http://HOMEASSISTANT-BASE-URL/profile`) -> Create Long Lived Access Token (at the very bottom of the page) -> Insert a name -> Copy the string it gives you
|
|
- **Installation Date**: Select the date of the first day in which your server's consumption was logged in its entirety. Users won't be able to see consumption data before this date.
|
|
- **Polled Smart Energy Summation entity ID:** After your plug is added in HomeAssistant, get it in Overview -> look for an entity called like "[Name of your plug] Polledsmartenergysummation" -> Settings -> Copy the Entity ID. Check that the unit of measurement in the "Info" tab is kWh.
|
|
- **CO2 signal Grid fossil fuel percentage entity ID**: Get it in Settings -> Devices and Integrations -> Add Integration -> CO2 Signal -> Get your token from the website -> CO2 signal Grid fossil fuel percentage -> Settings -> Copy the Entity ID. Check that the unit of measurement in the "Info" tab is %.
|
|
- **Admin username and password** don't need to be the credentials to HomeAssistant! They are the credentials to log into the admin panel.
|
|
|
|
If you've just added your energy meter into HomeAssistant, note that it will take eight days for EcoDash to show meaningful data.

## The road ahead
|
|
|
|
EcoDash is currently released as a minimum viable product, still far from completion. Here's a non-extensive, unordered list of the changes I want to make.
|
|
|
|
- Adding support for energy returns (like solar panels)
|
|
- Supporting hot reload, removing the need to restart EcoDash each time the settings are changed
|
|
- Improving clarity for when data is missing
|
|
- Making FossilFuel Percentage optional and adding other sources
|
|
- Supporting energy consumption readings from internal sensors
|
|
- Adding some way to change header/footer links directly from the admin panel
|
|
- Eventually being completely HomeAssistant-independent
|
|
- Adding Woodpecker CI
|
|
- Organizing branches and releases better
|
|
- Moving documentation to a wiki and expanding it
|
|
- Extensively documenting the theming capabilities of EcoDash
|
|
- Publishing some alternative themes
|
