Can you share any work on this? I would love to read the electric meter readings.

  Sure. If you have an Elster brand meter, you can check out my (incomplete) project ea_receiver [1] or a GNU Radio based project, gr_elster [2]. For other brands, I would check out the rtlamr [3] project. I'm using it to read my gas meter. Finally, if you're into this sort of thing, check out rtl_433 [4]. You'd be amazed how many things are silently communicating all around you. Note: my work on ea_receiver has stagnated, as my city recently completed an upgrade to their system which unfortunately included enabling message encryption.

    Makes sense. My email might be public, but at least my water meter is encrypted.
