I have the serial TED 1000 with a modification to provide the kWatt usage in real time (every second) from the serial port. I can connect it to my little Buffalo/Linux router to collect the usage in a database for web access without the need for a PC. Other than needed to make the modification to get to the data...
klaxxon, I'd be very interested to hear more about how you've accessed the data. If you'd prefer to tell me in private channels that's OK with me (although I don't think reverse engineering is illegal yet.)
I'd like to avoid mucking with the TEDViewer software under WINE, and yet I feel certain there's no point running a real Windows box just for this tiny application.
Are you running OpenWRT on the Buffalo? Do you think this can be made to work for me in Ubuntu?
For those who are interested, per-second data exported from the Windows TED program looks like this:
