Zigbee to Ethernet

Anyone know how to transmit data from a Zigbee module over Ethernet? I obtain my data on my co-ordinator on my Zigbee network but now I want to send it to my PC via Ethernet. I'm using the Xport Ethernet module to connect my Zigbee network to an ethernet cable.

Thanks

Out of curiousity, what kind of equipment are you connecting via Zigbee?

Electricity meters

Electricity meters

Where can I get hold of such a beast? I'm interested in monitoring my own electricity consumption, and this sounds like a good option.

Hey Rogan

This is for work purposes. We monitor consumption, user credit to date etc on prepaid electricity meters. I am currently working on a new infrastructure involving zigbee & ethernet to monitor & read these variables off the meter.

Hi Peeryus,

I kind of figured that you were working on this for commercial reasons. Nonetheless, I'm quite interested in monitoring my own consumption, and if I can buy a "council-grade" meter, I can be sure of getting accurate readings, and should be able to cross check that with the council's meters.

Having the ZigBee interface to obtain real-time information would be awesome. Is there any chance of my purchasing such a meter? I have a three phase supply, though. Would I need three meters, or do you have a solution for multi-phase supplies?
