+#### **EnergyMeterPlus Node Version 0.1.2**
+
+
+
+##### **Overview:**
+
+
+
+EnergyMeterPlus is a custom Node‑RED function node designed to convert instantaneous power readings (Watts) into accumulated energy values (kWh) over time. It integrates power based on elapsed time between samples, applies baseline corrections, calculates costs, and persists totals across restarts.
+
+
+
+
+
+##### **Features:**
+
+
+
+* Converts power (W) into energy (kWh) using time integration.
+
+
+
+* Tracks daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly energy totals.
+
+
+
+* Calculates costs based on a configurable unit cost.
+
+
+
+* Unit cost configurable in 3 different currencies
+
+
+
+* Supports baseline corrections to start counters from existing values.
+
+
+
+* Handles rollover at day, week, month, and year boundaries.
+
+
+
+* Persists counters and timestamps in Node‑RED context and writes snapshots to file.
+
+
+
+* Outputs clean values rounded to two decimal places for dashboards.
+
+
+
+
+
+###### **Configuration:**
+
+
+
+Unit Cost: Cost per kWh (e.g., 0.15 for $0.15/kWh).
+
+
+
+Currency: Choose USD, EUR, or NGN (fixed values, not convertible)
+
+
+
+File Path: Path to store snapshots (default: /config/node\_red/solargen\_data.json).
+
+
+
+Input Unit: "W" for Watts (default) or "kW" if your source already provides kilowatts.
+
+
+
+Baselines: Initial values for daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly counters. Can also be used to correct baseline values or left blank if not needed.
+
+
+
+
+
+###### **Output:**
+
+
+
+The node outputs a payload object:
+
+
+
+json
+
+{
+
+  "daily\_kWh": 4.53,
+
+  "weekly\_kWh": 32.18,
+
+  "monthly\_kWh": 128.74,
+
+  "yearly\_kWh": 1024.56,
+
+  "daily\_cost": 0.68,
+
+  "weekly\_cost": 4.83,
+
+  "monthly\_cost": 19.31,
+
+  "yearly\_cost": 153.68
+
+}
+
+All values are rounded to two decimal places.
+
+
+
+
+
+###### **Rollover Logic:**
+
+
+
+* Daily resets at midnight.
+* 
+* Weekly resets on Sunday.
+* 
+* Monthly resets on the first of the month.
+* 
+* Yearly resets on January 1st and archives the previous year’s totals.
+
+
+
+
+
+###### **Persistence:**
+
+
+
+Counters and timestamps are stored in Node‑RED context.
+
+
+
+Snapshots are written to the configured JSON file.
+
+
+
+Directories are auto‑created if missing, ensuring no ENOENT errors.
+
+
+
+
+
+##### **Example:**
+
+
+
+If your solar system outputs \~4526 W continuously:
+
+
+
+After 1 hour → \~4.53 kWh added to daily total.
+
+
+
+After 24 hours → \~108.6 kWh added to daily total.
+
+
+
+Costs scale automatically with your configured unit cost.
