Not able to use Google PowerMeter

[TinkerGarage]

I want to connect T-a-W to Google PM but there are no individual user options only a few utilities companies and a few hardware devices. Has anyone in the forum been able to connect T-a-W to Google PM recently ? If you have, how you did it? ; Thanks

Thanks for your reply and the link. Got the "gmeter-wattcher.py" to run but it is not able to post data to Google Powermeter (no update in status after clicking "check measurements again").
Looking at the example in your website, the script should display a line that starts with : "www.google.com:443..." This looks like is Google's acknowledgment that the data was received. My script does not display that line.

What I get in place of the "www.google.com:443..." line is this:

"2010 06 21, 22:10, 1, 121.37832542"

After that, I get the following error message:

"-- error: (10060, 'Operation timed out')"

Do I need to modify any additional ".py" files in order for gmeter-wattcher to work correctly ?

Found the root cause of the problem.

I was running this inside a corporate network. I went home and tried again and it worked.

Yeah, those corporate network guys have no sense of transparency. They seem to feel protecting the network is more important than viewing youtube and facebook Who knew? (I work IT at a School District ask me about high schoolers)
