I have been looking for a electricity meter I could connect to a computer for some time now - and then I came across a number of stories on the Currentcost device. This device has a serial output of it's data - and at long last I found their wiki with information on how to interface this to a computer - and even better - to a Arduino!

Welcome to the Current Cost wiki

This is a place to store good pointers and collections of information which are useful to people who want to get started with their new Current Cost.

The basic are below but maybe you'd like to find out about:

The connector on the back of the Current Cost unit
Connecting your current cost to a PC or Mac using a custom cable
Connecting your current cost to an Arduino
The Current Cost XML format
Graphing the data from your Current Cost (and some more here)
Making a power-meter using an Arduino
ordering a data cable (RJ45-serial) from Current Cost themselves
