I have some very humble goals, namely to be able to track my water/gas/electricity meters' relentless progress via my Mac, using some clean and cheap wireless solution.
Initially I would be happy to track only our gas and/or water consumption. Based on the success of such an initial goal, I may extend my measuring obsession to other sources.
I know virtually nothing about the domotica world, but have already seen that HomeSeer seems to be popular.. I am not interested in using that program (too costly, apparently horrible UI too).
My ideal solution would comprise a small object on/near the meter, a small object near my Mac (USB connected?), and some free software to read the counters. The latter may be as primitive as can be.. as a programmer I may be able to write something that takes raw data and visualizes it as a nice graph.
Thanks!
