You need to check out my interface software for HAI that works with TED, http://www.meetmyro.com!

Does TED integrate with the HAI system? Maybe RS232 into the HAI so you can view the status from many HAI interfaces.
Thanks

Should I get the serial version or the USB? Would like to use it with Omni II in the future so I’m leaning towards serial – good idea or not?

Don’t get one of these if you are on a delta power system. It only reads half you KWH.
The delta distribution is used in Queens and Brooklyn NY. perhaps other States as well.
You can tell by checking your voltage, if you have 120v on each leg and 208 between then, you on a delta system, if between them you have 220-240 you are on a single phase.
TED knows about this and has not commented on this problem yet.

Does anyone know ifthey publiched and API yet for this? They state they use .NET so it would be great if they could expose some methods so we can develop custom applciations for this device.

Just received my TED1001 and was curious to know what was in the RDU so I took it apart; here are pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25092995@N00/sets/72157604067528077/

I have an Omni II and a TED and would be willing to test your new UI if you’re sharing this.
Let me know

I am impatiently waiting for mine to arrive. I am also curious how you figured out how to get the serial out. I am told that the manufacture will announce it to us in a few months. In the mean time I would like to receive data from it to graph it. I’ll do my own programming.
I also wonder why Ted B. would want bidirectional. I can’t imagine what I would want to send to it.

Good blog here!
Tried clicking on link for the product page for TED 1000, but it is linked as a “mailto:” so it opens my e-mail client rather than a webpage. Just thought you might want to know.

Ali,
I was paying $123.00 for my electric part last month. This month I wll be around $70. I adjusted my outdoor lighting at night and have turned off electronics that I thought were not sucking much power off.
