I set up one to pull readings from my utility meters. Now I've got the exact figures the power company uses to calculate my bill, and can track it throughout the month, entirely offline


Do you happen to have a write-up of this? I'd be interested in building the same capability, although I doubt we have the same provider.


I'll get one written up post haste

I've been batting around a few blog posts on various home automation projects and will probably sit down and write this one this afternoon

I'll reply with an link when it's up


Thanks! After I asked this I googled around and found on GitHub bemasher/rtlamr, but discovered it doesn't work on my meter's network (FlexNet/Icon/Census). Hopefully someone figures out FlexNet, I'd like to add my meters to my home data collection!


Here's my writeup:

It's based on rtlamr, which might still be a non-starter for you, but it should point you in the right direction.

Most of what I did was just turn-key assembly of existing code, but you might be able to make something work by digging through how rtlamr works


Thanks!
