Real-time Dashboard for festivals

Turn down for Watt (TDFW) is an Real-Time application used by Food Trucks on large open festivals.

A food truck registers all the appliances it brings to the festival. Based on the number of appliances and the energy each appliance consumes the Food Truck gets a label for that particular festival. Each label has a subscription. This subscription has a maximum usage of energy consumed during the days of the festival. (For example 2100Kwh).

The Food Truck is forced to think about the energy they consume and can consider bringing less appliances to the festival to keep the cost down.

During the festival, energy is being measured from the Food Truck. The owner of the Food Truck can see the results in a handy dandy dashboard.

With this information the owner can determine if appliances need to be removed or turned off more frequently for the next day or next festival.

Inside the Food Truck the owner can see the current status and energy level. The owner can determine if the subscription is the right fit and even buy extra subscriptions.

The employees can also see the current energy usage and see if the energy levels are high or low.

The employee can then decide if he or she wants to turn off appliances.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

• Make sure you have node installed on your machine.
• Install mongoDB on your machine using homebrew.
• Install Arduino IDE on your machine.

To simulate the energy use of a appliance you can use the following hardware.

• Make sure you have the right hardware requirements
  • NodeMCU microcontroller
  • PotentioMeter

Here are the instructions to get the node server up and running.

1. Clone this project to your local machine and change directory/

$ git clone https://github.com/dandevri/watt-now.git && cd watt-now

1. Install the dependencies and start the server.

$ npm start

1. You should see the following message in your terminal.

Server running 0.0.0.0:3000

🎉 It has works!
