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 |
