I'm sure Current Cost or any number of other programmers could write and sell you a bespoke custom software package to suit your specific requirements.
Your data is also available in it's raw XML format so that you can do whatever you like with it. Print it, save it, graph it, convert it, broadcast it, sell it, or decorate your walls with it.
I don't see why CC is unprofessional, just because the various software that is offered free, doesn't meet your exact requirements.
They have openly published details to the XML data and how to interpret it. There are various topics on the subject elsewhere on these forums and some links to a datasheet that contains all the relavent the information.
The raw XML data can be viewed using most freely available terminal programs such as hyperterminal or there is (or was) a free XML terminal program available on the Current Cost web site. The raw XML data contains additional data that you can't see on the Envi such as a higher resolution temperature output and various other details that you may find usefull.
Unfortunately it does have it's drawbacks in the sence that it's only data and it can't mow the lawn or do the laundry for you, and it can't even make a magic cup of Tea! Totally unprofessional, i have to agree, one would expect atleast that much, surely.
As a suggestion to your problem of electricity theft, you should take a reading on your electricity meter, switch everything off in your home, unplug everything, particularly your computer (they use a LOT of power!) then sit there in the dark for a good while. Then check your electricity meter again and see if it's changed. It may take some time so if it still shows the same reading as last time then wait some more because your electricity theif may not be stealing from you at that point in time. Continue on and repeat the waiting process. If you find that the meter reading does change but only by a small amount then double check everything is unpugged again which will give you something to do while you are waiting for the all important breakthrough until your theif strikes. Make sure you have switched off your clocks, phones, fax machines etc as they are often over looked. Avoid anything that you could attempt to use to contact the outside world, take the battery out of any cell phones you may have as it could be radio interference getting into the wiring and causing false readings. Remember to remove any batteries from laptops and especially disconnect anything that can connect to the internet. (Could be a source of powerdrain) For the most part it's just going to be a waiting game until the theif strikes. If it gets cold at night, resist any temptation to swich on any heating, even gas heating can use electricity and impair your readings. If you wait for long enough, eventually you will be able to prove one way or another if it's something or someone that is using power. Once you find the theif, be sure to express your displeasure. If you sit him down and tell him (or her) how wrong it is, in much the same way as you have expressed above then i'm sure they will be sympathetic to your plight. I'm sure they will understand, not only, how you want it all, and how it's your right to get it all, they will completely understand how you should, in no uncertain terms, have it all. If they don't, well, that's just plain unprofessional of them. How dare they not give you it all. What is the world coming to. So unprofessional. I shudder at the thought of how unfair it's been for you. A total disgrace. I think i may even have to stamp my foot in the anger of it all and write about it on the internet. There must be atleast two other people out there who completely agree and to add insult to injury no less, here you are, having all these problems as well with no one producing perfect software especially for you. Man, i think i'll deffinitely have to stamp my foot in total discust and i think i'll even give my neighbour a dirty look tomorrow just incase they are even thinking of doing the same to me someday. I'm totally shaking my head in discust right now. Pffffff.
