Re: Novii Remote / Maplin energy monitor

["David Amphlett" <dave_yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Regarding the Maplin energy monitor, has anyone tried hacking one of
these to get the data into something useful - such as a pc. I'd like
to be able to chart energy usage. Also it strikes me as an
alternative to an AWM2 if you just want to know from an automation
point of view if some kit is switched on or not.
