# LanternPowerMonitor
The Lantern Power Monitor is a Raspberry Pi service, Java Web Service, and Android application that allow you to monitor every electrical breaker in your house, regardless of how many panels or breakers you have.

The official website has a lot of technical information:

Here's an imgur album showing what this is and how it works:

## bom
An excel file that lists every part required to construct a Lantern Power Monitor Hub and links to where each part can be purchased.<br>
I'd much prefer everyone use this bom to get their own parts. Building kits is tedious.

# Ok, how do I run this thing?
The easiest way to run the software on a hub is to download a pre-built SD card image. One can be downloaded here:<br>
[hub_1.0.4.zip](https://lanternsoftware.com:13781/hub_1.0.4.zip)<br><br>
[hub_1.0.5.zip](https://lanternsoftware.com:13781/hub_1.0.5.zip)<br><br>
Flash this to any micro sd card (4gig or larger) and you're good to go. Fire up the hub and the phone app should be able to connect to it via bluetooth to finish the configuration. The default password on this image is pi/LanternPowerMonitor<br><br>
When you add the hub to your configuration via the app, you can change where the hub posts data. If you use lanternsoftware.com (the default host), your data will be stored there securely and won't be shared with or sold to anyone. If you really want to run your own server, you're of course welcome to do that instead, instructions are located further down.
