       Experimental setup to track our usage of heating oil and therefore the primary energy consumption for heating this house.This is inferring consumption from the "on" time of the burner through the power usage of the fan in the burner, which according to the datasheet turns on 13s before ignition. Given the nozzle diameter and pressure the consumption during a burn is approximately constant so you directly calculate the mass flow from the "on" time of the burner.

       Home Assistant still has no concept of Oil, so I had to calculate the approximate energy usage and mask it up as Gas consumption to get pretty graphs on the Energy Panel.

       Goal of this project: make changes to the building (we're currently replacing windows) measurable, get a grasp of how much energy is actually needed to heat the house to make it easier to scale a future heating solution.
