Receive data packets from GreenEye Monitor (http://www.brultech.com/greeneye/)
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you own a GreenEye Monitor and need to integrate its data into a Python application. The library is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and supports current Python versions (3.10, 3.11, 3.12). However, dormant maintenance (no updates in 908 days) means you should not expect bug fixes or feature additions; evaluate whether the existing API meets your needs before committing.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Your GreenEye Monitor must be configured to send binary format packets to the IP and port where you run this code.
- Low friction installation with only two runtime dependencies (aiohttp and siobrultech-protocols).

What it is and what it does
greeneye-monitor is a Python library for receiving and parsing binary data packets from GreenEye Monitor energy meters. It exposes a layered API: low-level packet parsing (greeneye.packets), stream processing (greeneye.streams), or higher-level monitor state tracking (greeneye.monitor) for single or multiple devices. The library computes rate-of-change metrics (Watts, pulses/sec) alongside cumulative totals, making it suitable for integration into home automation systems, energy dashboards, or data pipelines.
The package is designed as a data-collection layer, not a standalone application—it provides no built-in storage, visualization, or external integrations. You configure your GreenEye Monitor to send binary packets to your computer, then use greeneye-monitor to parse and act on that stream. It depends on aiohttp for async networking and siobrultech-protocols for packet format definitions.
Use it for
- Integrate real-time energy consumption data from a GreenEye Monitor into a home automation platform or custom monitoring dashboard.
- Stream GreenEye Monitor packets into a time-series database for historical energy analysis and reporting.
- Monitor multiple GreenEye Monitor devices simultaneously and aggregate power consumption across different circuits or buildings.
- Compute instantaneous power draw and rate-of-change metrics for demand-response or load-shedding logic.
- Build a custom energy alerting system that triggers actions when power usage exceeds thresholds.

Install
greeneye-monitor on PyPI
Before you install
Low friction installation with only two runtime dependencies (aiohttp and siobrultech-protocols). Dormant maintenance status—last commit was 2024-02-18 and no releases in 908 days—means bug fixes or feature updates are unlikely, though the repository is not archived.
Requires Python 3.10 or later. Your GreenEye Monitor must be configured to send binary format packets to the IP and port where you run this code.
