Buddy OHM User Manual 

 

 
The Buddy OHM system has the capability to monitor electrical energy use / generation, 
temperature and humidity. 
 
The system is made up of five main units. These can be assembled and configured to work for 
a variety of applications. The system is fully open-source, both hardware and software. All 
hardware is based on the Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms. 
 
The hardware options to set up a home energy monitor are as follows 

The Buddy OHM is an all-in-one Raspberry Pi based energy monitoring unit making for a 
simple installation where Ethernet or 3G dongle is available at the meter location. 

The Buddy OHM can monitor two single-phase AC circuits using clip-on CT sensors. The 
Buddy OHM can also monitor temperature, and interface directly with utility meters via an 
optical pulse sensor.
