Can smart meter output to laptop or ipad

I'm not sure but you could try downloading the Hildebrand Bright App to your iPad. I have it on my iPhone and it shows consumption down to half-hourly intervals going back more than a year. I use it a lot and would recommend it.

There is a way, but you'd need to be a bit of a tech geek and have some programming experience on PC.

As @JoeSoap says, the Bright app should work on an iPad, but all these apps work via the internet and get their data from DCC, not directly from the meters themselves.

I understand there are some CAD (consumer access devices) units like the Hildebrand Glow Stick which connect via ZigBee to your comms hub, and then convert that into something you can access over your WiFi. I have seen libraries and API's that then allow you to write your own software to pull the relevant data from your meters directly.

Unfortunately, and this really hacks me off, everyone seems to make apps for Android and Apple and forget that some of us more 'traditional types' still prefer to use proper computers running Windows!
