I kinda wanted to "hack" into my IHD (smart meter) info stream, so I could monitor/graph data on a sub-hour basis (which the energy company do by default for billing) ? I've got a dongle which will do the 'sniffing' but I'm not sure whether it's deaf (can't see the signal) can't decode the signal .. or else. Probably a combination of lack of knowledge and PEBKAC .. oh wait .. Anyone else feel free to chime in, and I'll start a new thread if anyone bites .. Cheers, Michael / veremitz.
