BuckPow is an open-source, self-hosted energy observability platform for low-power edge devices.

It helps engineers, researchers, educators, and makers measure, organize, visualize, and benchmark energy consumption through reproducible experiments.

Unlike traditional IoT dashboards that focus on live telemetry, BuckPow treats every measurement as part of an engineering workflow. Measurements are organized into experiment sessions, enabling comparison of hardware platforms, firmware versions, batteries, operating modes, and workloads.

The platform combines measurement nodes, embedded firmware, REST APIs, and a web-based observability dashboard to provide an end-to-end workflow for energy characterization and analysis.

Current capabilities include:
- Real-time voltage, current, power, and energy measurement
- Experiment session management
- Multi-device measurement
- Automatic device registration
- Energy benchmarking and comparison
- Interactive observability dashboard
