BUPT Electricity Monitor

Free yourself from the tedious operation, now you can just use a one-line command to view the electricity information of your dormitory.

The data comes from the BUPT Work WeChat. But please notice that this utility tool can only query the dormitory which is located on Xitucheng Campus. The other campuses are not supported at the moment.

FEATURES

• Get your power data easily, including surplus, voltage, current, power, etc.
• Calculate available time.

Requirements

• Python 3

Quick Start

Step 1: Install from PyPI

pip install buptelecmon

Step 2: Set your authorization information

This information is used to log in to the query interface. We won't send your information to other sites. :

elecinfo --set-auth

And input your student ID and your password. The password is usually the same as your Information Portal (my.bupt.edu.cn). :

Student ID:
Password:

Your authorization information will be saved to ~/.elecmon/elecmon.json.

Step 3: Run it

elecinfo <dormitory-number>

The dormitory-number must be in the correct format (ApartmentNumber-DormitoryNumber, e.g 1-101).

Also, this command tool will remember the dormitory number of the last query. Next time, if you want to query the same dormitory as last query, just type:

elecinfo

Recharge

Use this tool to visit the recharge page directly. :

elecinfo --recharge <dormitory-number>

Then, a QR code will be shown on your terminal. Please use your WeChat to scan the QR code and pay for it.

Advanced Usage

Full Command Line
