Re: Smart meters

[Stuart Poulton <stuart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Be aware that you need an enviR to make use of the optismart meter
readers from currentcost.

Also, First utility make use of the magnet  reader in the Gas meter, so not
sure of a good way to get reading, I have pondered putting something
in-line, but suspect there is anti tamper in place.

Optismart from CurrentCost@amazon here go.je/optismart

read the energy providers 'smart meters'. I have had min installed via
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?
