Reading power levels

["The Grim Reaper" <dontbother@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No doubt another stupid question :D

Has anyone come across any devices (UK compatible) that can monitor the
total current coming into your property??
I basically mean the total power coming in, after it's been through the
meter (obviously!) - i.e. the power I'm consuming.
The only "monitoring" of my total power usage is by reading the electricity
meter, which as you can guess is a pain...!

Also, I don't suppose anyone in the electricity (or gas) supply sectors know
of any domestic devices that give an interface to your meter readings??
(again, legally read-only :D)

Thanks
