Can EKM Push be Read from URL?
Can EKM Push be Read from URL?
My EKM meter is installed and working. EKM Push is pushing the data up to the cloud. Is it possible to communicate directly with the EKM Push? I see the URL and MAC address on my network. Any documentation or information out there on communicating with it?
Re: Can EKM Push be Read from URL?
You can communicate with your EKM Push cloud account through your URL. This URL contains your meter number and EKM Push user key. Are you able to do this?
You cannot communicate with your EKM Push gateway directly, it does not have an interface.
For example, if you wanted to get data from our sample URL you would go to (sometimes this shows up in "page source":
http://io.ekmpush.com/10068~300.xml?MTAxMDoyMDIw
or in command line:
curl http://io.ekmpush.com/10068~300.xml?MTAxMDoyMDIw
Here are the options that are currently available for viewing your EKM Push data: http://www.ekmmetering.com/solutions/push-apps.html

Re: Can EKM Push be Read from URL?
Yes, my EKM Push is working well, I can retrieve the data from the cloud using my user key and meter number.
I am a software developer with some HW background. I was wondering if the EKM Push has a REST API or SOAP API or some other form of communication API so that I could communicate with it directly. I would like to tinker with retrieving data over the internet without going to the cloud. I did not buy the "iSerial" because I also wanted the cloud capability. I am thinking about other apps that a homeowner could use when their connection to the cloud is down.
I can, but did not want to, do a direct connect to the RS485, and I would still need the internet converter device.
I don't expect the user to buy both the "EKM Push" and "iSerial".

Hello,
The EKM Push gateway does not have an interface. It does not have a REST API or SOAP API.
You might consider having a USB converter and the EKM Push on the same RS485 network, that way you could access your meter data if your internet connection was down for some reason (you can also make meter settings with the USB converter)
I am not exactly clear what you are looking for, it may be something like a raspberry pi with a dropbox connection. The raspberry pi would read your meters and store the data in a dropbox folder (then you have both a local connection and storage and a cloud connection and storage)
Hope this helps.
