Accessing my smart meter data?
Previously I had a zigbee hall sensor taped to the front of my gas meter and it detected the magnet on the first unit as it turned, I was able to capture this data and put it into graphs etc. With my new smart meters I obviously cannot do this, can I get access to my half-hourly usage data somehow?
