- Run the script by double-clicking the
start_monitoring.batfile or executing the following command in the terminal:python monitor.py. - The script will start monitoring load shedding events and display the plug-out time when the power goes off, and the plug-in time when the power comes back.
- The recorded data will be stored in a CSV file named
plug_times.csvin the same directory as the script.
Note: It is recommended to start the script while your laptop is plugged into a power source.
