Re: Remote energy metering

["Richard Parker" <mr.richard.parker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Guys,

Thanks very much for all your help.... I can actually head off into the
world now knowing how to tackle this problem :)

I'm thinking I like the idea of the Netiom more than the Viom, simply
because as a programmer with experience in TCP/IP comms and not in serial
comms I'd be more adept at querying this device before hammering this list
for assistance :)

So unless anyone thinks this to be a really bad idea and it could stop be
achieving what I want to do, I shall go ahead with this asap!

Many thanks again to everyone who has contributed

Rich
