Correctness/data: - Fix demo cost double-count: reference importer no longer imports the Kosten Strom/Wasser columns for categories that are metered (only Heizung), so Wasser rollup is 70€ not 140€. - Spurious-decrease guard: only a reset/swap in the window (prevReading, thisReading] explains a decrease — an old historical reset no longer permanently disables the guard. - Gate swap auto-detection on MappingProfile.DetectCumulativeSwaps (flag was ignored). - Prorate basePrice by bucket length (day/month/year); guard virtual expressions against NaN/Inf. Concurrency/infra: - Blazor: register a DbContextFactory; CostService/DashboardService and the read pages now use short-lived per-operation contexts (no shared circuit DbContext); guard Trends re-entrancy. - /events: wrap event insert + consumption recompute in one transaction (atomic); 404 (not 500) on unknown meter. - MQTT worker: subscribe to newly-added topics on each tick; move client cleanup into finally. - Migrations: CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW IF NOT EXISTS + if_not_exists on CAgg/compression/ hypertable calls (re-run-safe after a mid-migration crash). - HA worker: prune stale poll-schedule entries; export: null dangling ImportBatchIds on restore. API/security: - API fail-closed by default: with no keys and AllowAnonymousApi off, /api/v1 returns 401 (protects /export and /import). New MeterVault:AllowAnonymousApi opt-in. - Cap /readings batch at 5000; report ignored (unknown-meter) count; enums as strings in JSON. +4 regression tests (guard window, API closed, /events 404, no demo double-count). 98 tests green; Docker deploy re-verified healthy with the API fail-closed.

MeterVault
A self-hosted, local-first energy & utility metering platform. MeterVault pulls meter data from Home Assistant, Tasmota and raw MQTT on a schedule, stores every reading timestamped and immutable, normalizes it into consumption, and turns it into cost dashboards. Energy types (electricity, water, heating oil, gas, district heat, …) and meters are user-defined — nothing is hardcoded.
Successor to a hand-maintained Energiebilanz spreadsheet. See docs/SDD.md for the
full design.
Features
- Automatic ingestion from MQTT/Tasmota (persistent subscriptions) and Home Assistant (REST poll or push), plus manual entry, a REST push API, and CSV import.
- Immutable raw readings on a TimescaleDB hypertable; a normalized, append-only consumption layer on top — reproducible, auditable.
- Seven measurement modes (cumulative/generation registers, burner runtime, tank/consumable, direct delta, instant rate, virtual). Handles meter swaps, counter resets, tank dip-sticks with calibration, and virtual meters defined by an expression (PV self-consumption, savings, net).
- Tariff engine with time-ranged price history (unit/base/feed-in), scoped global / per type / per meter; cost categories decoupled from energy types; meterless manual costs.
- Continuous aggregates (daily/monthly/yearly, local timezone) so dashboards never scan raw.
- Dashboard: cost KPIs with period-over-period deltas, "what costs most", a "what cost more/ less" difference view, trends, meter list, one-click reference-data load, CSV dry-run.
- REST API + OpenAPI/Swagger, API-key auth, reverse-proxy trust (Authelia/Traefik).
- JSON config export/import for portability; Docker Compose + multi-arch image.
Quick start (Docker)
docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d
# open http://localhost:8080 → Import → "Load reference data" for a populated demo
# API docs at http://localhost:8080/swagger
Configuration is via environment variables (Section__Key double-underscore mapping), e.g.:
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
ConnectionStrings__Default |
PostgreSQL/Timescale connection string |
MeterVault__TimeZone |
Local timezone for buckets/display (default Europe/Berlin) |
MeterVault__ApiKeys__0 |
An API key accepted on the X-Api-Key header |
MeterVault__AllowAnonymousApi |
true to open the REST API without a key (trusted LAN only) |
MeterVault__ReverseProxyTrust |
true to honour X-Forwarded-User behind an auth proxy |
MeterVault__EnableLiveIngestion |
false to disable the MQTT/HA workers |
The REST API is closed by default: with no ApiKeys configured and AllowAnonymousApi off, it
returns 401. Set at least one API key (or open it explicitly for a trusted network).
Secrets (broker/HA tokens) are never stored in the database — endpoint configs hold the name of an environment variable, resolved at runtime.
Pushing readings (Home Assistant)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/readings \
-H "X-Api-Key: $METERVAULT_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '[{"meterId": 1, "time": "2026-01-01T12:00:00Z", "value": 47200}]'
See docs/wiring.md for wiring up Tasmota, MQTT and Home Assistant.
Development
dotnet build
dotnet test # integration tests spin a TimescaleDB via Testcontainers (needs Docker)
dotnet test tests/Core.Tests # fast unit tests, no Docker
dotnet run --project src/App
