Hi Robert I do not think so not unless someone comes up with a New Device and then it would be only permissible with the Power Company's Approval because you are accessing their usage information. I think they would be afraid that tampering of some kind may occur. There are some things we as blind people can do and some which we can not. I work for a Power Generator and have not heard of what you are asking. But there are many clever people out there who may be as we speak developing this technology. . All the best in your quest.
