About the Project

In the future, I want to automatically run my home network servers on battery power during expensive hours and charge the batteries during cheaper hours.

To achieve this, I developed a small tool that retrieves Epex Spot AT energy prices from the API and stores them in MongoDB Atlas.

The key feature of this tool is the categorization into three areas: Cheap (Green), Normal (Yellow), and Expensive (Red).

One thing I definitely wanted to try with this project was using Vercel to bring the whole system online and a cron job to execute a file every day to fetch the data.

I'm quite satisfied with the result, although there are still a few things I could improve.

Technologies

• NextJS
