Hello! 
I'm new on the forum, and wanted to share my ideia.
I've been working on a project to monitor energy consumption at my house that relies on a raspberry pi as a server, with apache + php, and the information is displayed on a website that i've created too. I've been able to connect the database to my website, the thing is, it's been hard (or impossible, so far 
) to send the information given from the shelly EM to the database. I know that exists some programs, as home assistant and OpenHAB, but i wanted to work on my own from scratch. I'm on the right track? Do you have any sugestions? And there is anyway that i can connect the shelly to my database?
Thank you in advance!
