NAME

Device::NeurioTools - More complex methods for accessing data collected by a Neurio sensor module.

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

This module allows access to more complex and detailed data derived from data 
collected by a Neurio sensor.  This is done via an extended set of methods: 
  - new
  - connect
  - set_rate
  - get_cost
  - get_kwh
 
Please note that in order to use this module you will require three parameters
(key, secret, sensor_id) as well as an Energy Aware Neurio sensor installed in
your house.

The module is written entirely in Perl and has been tested on Raspbian Linux.

SAMPLE CODE

EXPORT

All by default.

#*****************************************************************

new - the constructor for a NeurioTools object

Creates a new instance which will be able to fetch data from a unique Neurio 
sensor.

my $Neurio = Device::NeurioTools->new($key,$secret,$sensor_id);

  This method accepts the following parameters:
    - $key       : unique key for the account - Required parameter
    - $secret    : secret key for the account - Required parameter
    - $sensor_id : sensor ID connected to the account - Required parameter

Returns a NeurioTools object if successful.
Returns 0 on failure

connect - open a secure connection to the Neurio server

Opens a secure connection via HTTPS to the Neurio server which provides
access to a set of API commands to access the sensor data.

  $NeurioTools->connect();

This method accepts no parameters

Returns 1 on success 
Returns 0 on failure

set_rate - set the rate charged by your electicity provider

Defines the rate charged by your electricity provider.

  $NeurioTools->set_rate($rate);

  This method accepts the following parameters:
    - $rate      : amount charged per kwh - Required parameter

Returns 1 on success 
Returns 0 on failure

get_cost - calculate the cost of consumption for the specified period

Calculates the cost of consumption over the period specified.

  $NeurioTools->get_cost($start,$granularity,$end,$frequency);

  This method accepts the following parameters:
    - start       : yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ - Required
    - granularity : seconds|minutes|hours|days - Required
    - end         : yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ - Optional
    - frequency   : an integer - Optional

Returns the cost on success 
Returns 0 on failure

get_kwh - calculate the kwh of consumption for the specified period

Calculates the kwh of consumption over the period specified.

  $NeurioTools->get_kwh($start,$granularity,$end,$frequency);

  This method accepts the following parameters:
    - start       : yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ - Required
    - granularity : seconds|minutes|hours|days - Required
    - end         : yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ - Optional
    - frequency   : an integer - Optional

Returns the kwh on success 
Returns 0 on failure
