Hi Michael

There's an LED on the lecky meter but not the gas.  Looks like I might have
been hoping for something that isn't available.

Cheers

First Utility and whilst it's great that i can monitor usage via a web
interface, the granularity is poor. The electricity is read every 30 mins
and the gas daily but there seems to be a lag of 2 to 3 days before the
data is available. So I just wandered if there was anything I could lash up
to get up to date numbers. Anyone been and done it?
