i am a novice here but i intend to buy a watt meter device from this company http://www.theenergydetective.com/index.html
and send their data on a personal website so that I can view it anywhere.

My initial thoughts are:
- Connect a data logger through their device USB port
- use some kind of web server or a GSM link to send it to te host

Looking into what you did it seems that you have already did that

Could you advise?

Hi Eric,

EnviroMon has several ways of letting you view data at a remote location. Our "dynamic web pages" demo (http://www.picotech.com/dynamic/) uses the simplest method, which is a Windows batch file that runs at timed intervals, extracting a graph image from the EnviroMon software and then sending it to our web server. There are instructions for this on our website at http://www.picotech.com/dynamic/dynamic_guide.html.

The TED device doesn't seem to have the networking and data sharing features that EnviroMon has, but then to be fair it is cheaper! I'm not sure that either of your ideas will work with the TED. However, you could try either:

a) using a timed batch file to grab a screen shot of the TED window, using something like Screen Grab Pro (http://www.traction-software.co.uk/screengrabpro/), and then sending the image by FTP to your website
b) using a remote desktop program like VNC or LogMeIn to view the whole PC desktop remotely

Good luck!
