In France we use Merlin-Gerin or Siemens meters which are equipped with
a TTL output (and a flashing LED). There are ways to interface this TTL
output to RS232, giving you the real time load of the meter. May be your
model is the same, there must be some sort of output for their module to
get the data ?
