Thanks Schander. What you suggest i'm pretty much doing already. I was, however, after a way to get immediate live readings of current usage.Its becoming apparent that its likely that AGL/Ausgrid dont offer this type of data on the type of meter i have. What i'll probably end up doing is going doing the Efenergy monitor route, which you suggested. Its a bit more $ invested, but will provide some good live data and analysis, which would be interesting to see. thanks,Dimitry
