I wonder if the new electric meter that we got is hackable? Not to adjust the power readings or anything illegal, but to remotely read the power load at any time?
Progress Energy provides a handy graph with each power bill, showing power use on a monthly basis. I’d like to monitor the load on a hourly basis (or better) by querying the power meter from my computer.
Anyone know of anything that does this?
Saw a diy project for this a long time ago. It was achieved by reading the flashes off the led on the electric meter using a 1-wire device. Can try to dig up the link if you’re still interested.
I found that project, too, but it interfaces a bit differently than the way I want. Thanks for the info, though.
