I have just had my electricity and gas meters replaced with smart meters
which have now made my excel spread sheet redundant and I no longer need
to read my meters every day.

However I will still update my spread sheet, I just won't need to go out
in the rain to read my meter, just to the kitchen where the smart meter
display is situated.

Then I thought, is there a way to get the smart meter display to
automatically update my spread sheet or for me to view the output from
the smart meters directly on my computer, by, in some way, capturing the
output from the smart meters?

I have a wireless router but it does not show anything about the smart
meter LAN.

Not much consolation, but the clip on energy monitor I had from EoN has
two options for reading; you can download the last month (or so) using
their no longer supported software, or you can capture the raw data
streamed in real time out of the serial port.

All you need to do then is write a bit of software to analyse it.(!)

Probably far too practical for smart meters.
