BE AWARE

Programming the INA219 is not easy if you want to do it yourself, so I highly recommend using a library: INA219

Making the Database

By looking at the image above, you should be able to create your own database by which you can collect data from the sensors.

I hosted this database on my Rasberry pi using MariaDB.

Making the Test Setup

I made this setup to see how the sensors work and to test if they al work appropriately.

Making a Responive Website

In order to see the collected data, I made a site that shows live data from the sensors and a button to make a light turn on or off.
