The best and likely cheapest solution is to get the data from your utility meter. Most meters have a "S0" output which sends a pulse evern X Wh. If you can't find it, ask your power-company for access. Tell them you want to monitor your energy conservation effort and they'll likely not charge you for it. If that fails, search google for "gasdims" :-) -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
