Welcome.
I have a PAFAL 12EA52rn/1 meter set up by ZE. This meter has a flashing LED indicating consumption of 6400 imp/kWh. Can I make a circuit that will count these flashes for me? The opto-receiver would be mounted directly on the meter casing in the form of some kind of suction cup or glued on insulating tape, so it would not be invasive. How can the electricity company's customer service representative react to such a thing? I would like to illustrate the results obtained on some kind of graph in a time unit. Electronic issues are not a problem, the question is their "but".
