I have several power meters (Shelly, Tasmota, and Solax), and I’m looking for a way to evaluate their data more effectively. Currently, I can only view real-time values, but I’d like to store daily snapshots in order to generate a consumption curve. This would help me extract more useful insights from these devices. ---

Is there any documentation on how to use this? Where exactly should I send the data? Ideally, I’d like to store it in a simple table. I’ve experimented with SQL, but the SQL-based app I found uses a proprietary structure, so I can’t define my own tables. My goal is to retain all the data—whether in a basic CSV file or by using SQL queries. At midnight (00:00), I can collect and send the data to a virtual device, but I’m unsure what type of virtual device would allow me to **permanently store the data** and also **generate charts** from it. Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated! ---
