CM160 OWL energy monitor - direct from 'serial' USB port

This flow queries the OWL energy monitor (mine is on COM8 on windows using the OWL USB drivers), and generates both a real-time gauge and a graph of data since the flow started.

It uses dashboard for display.

Credit to cm160server.py and other sources for data interpretation.

This is a work in progress, but hopefully will be of use to someone.

At first start, or start after a timeout, the OWL device will send a LOT of stored data. This will take a minute or two, and shows int he counts stats in the GUI. Only when this is over will the gauge fire up.

Usage (windows): Install the standard OWL software, but make sure the software is not running; we only need the usb drivers. Make sure you have node-red-dashboard (not the older contrib-ui). Import the blow into your flow. Set the comport number in the flow correctly for your OWL device; make sure it takes the 250000 baud rate. See the ui at /ui

I assume this would work in linux; although there seem to be questions about selecting a baud rate of 250000 in std linux usb serial drivers. Reading tells me there may be modified drivers for the USB.
