neptune2influx uses a software defined radio (Amazon.com) and rtlamr to insert Neptune R900 water meter readings into InfluxDB

Your SDR must be connected to your PC

Prerequisites

• macOS with Homebrew:

$ brew install python2 rtl-sdr go influxdb
$ brew services start influxdb

• Debian/Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt install python-pip rtl-sdr golang influxdb

Setup

$ git clone https://github.com/abaker/neptune2influx
$ cd neptune2influx
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ GOPATH=$(pwd) go get github.com/bemasher/rtlamr

Run

Start an rtl_tcp server

$ rtl_tcp &

Then start recording data

$ bin/rtlamr -msgtype=r900 -format=json -filterid=<your_meter_id> | python neptune2influx.py

By default neptune2influx will connect to a local InfluxDB install, use the default credentials, and store data in a table named neptune
