Why unsecure influxdb v1? It is a very common stack used on private networks, but strongly recommend all home users to start using secure engines in thier home network to practice Privacy by Design. Also as to why InfluxDB v1 at all, InfluxDB v2 changed from sql to thier own language and some basic functions are missing. I am working on a InfluxDB V2 version and using flux for the grafana dashboard

Why only Southern California Edison? Green Button Data is provided by most utilities as a standard US Department of Energy Standard. But the output format is not standardized. Please create an issue and provide a sample for any other utilities. This also includes non-Solar sample files. If you do, make sure you blank out any personal information in the file like your account number or address. If you want to add logic to parse another file format, please contact me to be a contributor.
