<p>A commodity monitoring system, for monitoring water, gas and/or electricity consumption, comprises a commodity meter 104 adapted to provide consumption data of a commodity, a remote server 300 and a display device 200. The remote server 300 is adapted to communicate with the commodity meter 104 and receive said consumption data there from. The remote server 300 is furthermore adapted to communicate with a display device 200 adapted to display information regarding the consumption of said commodity and provide said display device with commodity information based upon said consumption data. The server 300 is configured to receive a request from the display device 200 and instruct the meter 104 to provide the consumption data. Upon receiving the consumption data, the server 300 sends consumption data to the display device 200. The display device may be a mobile device, dedicated display unit, PC, digital TV box or PDA. The server 300 can instruct the meter 104 to provide consumption data, either periodically or upon request.</p> |
