Who manufactures the British Gas energy saving monitor?

in Energy
I have a BG electricity monitor and it's all fine and dandy, but I'm interested in graphing usage over time rather than the daily/weekly/monthly display on the device.

Does anyone know who manufactures the device, so that I can see if there is any software available to do what I would like?

This is the same monitor:

and I assume it's just a British Gas rebranded design.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

    Doh! Looked on the back, and it's a CurrentCost model CC128. Didn't notice before as it's just white relief text on a white background.

    Plenty of info around the net about hacking these so I'll go and have a play
