This script calculates the cost-effectiveness of mining. It queries historical data from a TP-Link HS110 smart plug, queries average cost/day of the electricity (Spanish grid only for now, PVPC) and also queries Nicehash's API in order to get bitcoin and EUR produced per day by the miners.

You can install the most recent release using pip while in the project root:

pip3 install .

Then you'll need to install its dependencies using:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Finally, run it by:

(venv) fengdu:pvpc-kasa-nicehash leandroalbero$ python3 pvpc-knh

Total energy cost: 237.53 EUR
Total produced BTC: 0.01009038 EUR: 390.40
Average produced per day BTC: 0.00017702 EUR: 6.85
Average energy cost per day: 4.85 EUR

Note: If using Nicehash API v2 you need to create a file named 'secrets' with org_id, api_key and api_secret on each line.

• TP-Link Kasa smart plug, this code has been tested with the HS110
• Nicehash API v2 org_id, api_key and api_secret

• HS100
• HS103
• HS105
• HS107
• HS110
• KP105
• KP115
• KP401

• We don't use 'ESIOS API' because it requires an API token, we use a web scraper on https://tarifaluzhora.es/ instead. This is slower, but it is easier to set up. Will try to use ESIOS API by requesting a token on the CLI
• CLI doesn't have any parameters yet. Should have at least start_date and end_date or a default value for current month
• Nicehash API
• Tidy the code for the plot function.
• Change start and end date to query data for the current month by default
