💖 mtx-youless(1) — youless Fetcher 💖

okay bestie, so this is mtx-youless, aka the youless Fetcher, and it lives in the mtxrun script family. it's manual section 1, she's a command, she's iconic, and she's here to talk to your Youless device and grab the numbers off it. 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mtxrun --script youless [ OPTIONS ...  ] [ FILENAMES ]

so you call her through mtxrun with --script youless, then sprinkle in whatever OPTIONS you want, then optionally hand over some FILENAMES. that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌟

youless Fetcher. that's literally her job description, fr fr — she fetches. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

every single one, no skips, no cuts, we're eating the whole plate:

  • --collect — collect data from the device 👑
  • --nobackup — don't back up the old datafile, we're living dangerously
  • --nofile — don't write data to a file at all — this one's just for checking 👀
  • --electricity — collected electricity data (p) ⚡
  • --gas — collected gas data 🔥
  • --pulse — collected electricity data (s) 💫
  • --host — ip address of the device 📍
  • --auto — fetch (refresh) all the data every hour, she's on a schedule and she's committed ⏰
not me pointing out that --nobackup and --nofile are two different levels of unhinged. one keeps a backup, one writes nothing at all. choose wisely bestie 😭
