#Blinkmeter

Electricity meter blink counter nodemcu lua code for ESP8266.

## What it does:
- Upon starting it establishes connection to provided wifi ssid
- It counts electricity meter flashes and stores them in counter variable
- It opens a socket and exposes counter.
- Once prometheus scrapes the value, counter gets reset to 0.
