Can we store the readings on our own server?

You can certainly use the EKM Push database as a bounce point for your data. As soon as data comes in you can retrieve it and insert it into your own database.

However it gets quite a bit more tricky if you would like the EKM Push gateway to send data to your database directly. We do not want to control your data, so we would very much like to be able to offer our customers the functionality of sending the data to their own database (without ours being involved). This is something that will be a while before we can free up the development resources to implement. In order to do this (in shorter order) there will be a minimum commitment of 1000 meters you will purchase, and at that point we would like to be able to hand you the tools necessary to set up your own cloud database. That way we will not handle your meter data.

For now the best will be to grab your meter data from our database and then insert it into your own. Just use our EKM Push database as a bounce point for your data. If you are going to do this I would use the "Advanced API Call" that includes the sequence number:

Request all meter data (up to 1000 reads) since Seq 1360970540001 from meter 10054:

curl http://clmain.ekmmetering.com/10054~100 ... AxMDoyMDIw

(the seq number should be updated for each request to the seq from the latest read received)


This will ensure that you are not grabbing too much data (only retrieve what you need)

Thanks,
