As the title suggests, this is the first of two somewhat technical posts describing my experiences of pulling energy data from smart meters across the University of Lincoln (UoL) campus for LiSC’s Electro-Magnates (EM) project. I felt it might be useful or interesting for others to read as a blog post (trying to avoid using ‘opinion’ post!) [...]

Using Windows Communication Foundation, we have built a Restful API that exposes the University of Lincoln’s near-real-time energy consumption data in either XML or JSON [...]
