sense-collector VS solarthing

Does anybody else have Sense setup with a script to dump data into InfluxDB or similar so they can process and view the data through Grafana? Do you like it? I've been on the fence about buying a Sense meter. If I do I'd want to get my data into Grafana using something like this. I don't know how well it works but it seems to be under relatively recent development.

Renogy's website looks professional, but the stuff they have to monitor their own products is very finicky. Shameless plug: if you want to mess with a raspberry pi and collecting data yourself: https://github.com/wildmountainfarms/solarthing. There are also other repos on github that do the same thing, usually integrating with some database with examples for getting Grafana up and running to make your own dashboard. I can access my solarthing instance from anywhere and view data in an android notification. It does take some tech knowledge to setup, especially if you want to access data off your local network.

If you want to do sis me tinkering on an RPi you could use something like my project, SolarThing: https://github.com/wildmountainfarms/solarthing

I'll drop my project here: https://github.com/wildmountainfarms/solarthing

If you're OK with not having data from a shunt and only data from your charge controller, there are many DIY solutions out there to connect to your charge controllers serial port and get data using Modbus. If you use a Renogy product or have an EPEver tracer, my SolarThing project can monitor both of those: https://github.com/wildmountainfarms/solarthing

I've made some software that works on renogy controllers (also compatible with a few other brands). https://github.com/wildmountainfarms/solarthing

If you have a renogy rover, or a similar renogy product, this software I've created can keep track of historical data with a raspberry pi: https://github.com/wildmountainfarms/solarthing
