mv /root/SHMonitoring/SHMonitoring.service /etc/systemd/system

• Edit server.py: Set SERVERIP to the IP on which the webbserver should bind on and SHELLYURL to the URL of the ShellyPlug that should be monitored.
• Install required Python packages: uvicorn and fastapi (either as python3-uvicorn and python3-fastapi or via pip3 install fastapi uvicorn)
• Enable and start the server
