frequenz.sdk.timeseries.logical_meter.LogicalMeter ¤

A logical meter for calculating high level metrics in a microgrid.

LogicalMeter provides methods for fetching power values from different points in the microgrid. These methods return FormulaReceiver objects, which can be used like normal Receivers, but can also be composed to form higher-order formula streams.
