Default Southern Electric "Cost Monitor" RF clamp meter

Anyone got one?

I just dumped EDF and switched to SE. Nice little surprise waiting for me
when I got down to the bungalow:

http://mungbean.org/blog/?p=477

A little clamp meter to whack on the meter tail, and a batter powered RF
transmitter (433MHz). Base unit sits in the house and tells you wn=hat
you're using.

I know it's hardly a unique concept, but it was free Brought it back and
hooked it up in Pembury.

There's a little RJ45 underneath, which upon some searching turned up the
above web site which suggests it's a TTL level serial link that spits out
readings in XML every 6 seconds at 2400 baud.

Need to go and see if I have a MAX232 somewhere and hook it up to the PC

Only deficiency is the base unit doesn't have a Rugby Clock receiver for
time, otherwise it would be nearly perfect...

Cheers

Tim
