EKM Dash
Our free user-friendly software allows you to read meters which are connected to your computer, whether it be a PC (Windows XP+), Mac (MacOS 10.10+), or Linux, and whether the meter is connected directly with one of our EKM Blink USB to RS-485 converters, over a LAN network, or over the internet with the iSerial TCP/IP to Serial Converter or with our cloud based EKM Push3 system. From this application you can visualize your data on graphs, read all of the meter parameters, set meter numbers (addresses), reset Maximum Demand, have meter usage logged to a file, schedule Email reports, and much more. This is a direct replacement for our legacy EKM Reader software. It features all of the same functionality and more, in a much more stable and easy to use package.

EKM Dash For Linux (64-bit)
We are now offering the Dash software as a free download and we have done away with the need to purchase a registration key.
The software will work with EKM v.2, v.3, v.4, and v.5 smart meters. Meter reads give Total kWh, Reverse kWh and Maximum Demand, plus Instantaneous Current, Voltage, Power, Power Factor, as well as 6 months of monthly records stored on board the meter, including 4 Time-of-Use Rates for 4 Daily Time Periods and 6 Seasons. Omnimeter Pulse v.4 meters return quite a bit of additional data.
The Dash can also display a visual representation of your data. Seen here:
Please Note: pulse count data from water and/or gas meters, provided by the v.4 and v.5 Omnimeters, can only be visually presented when using the EKM Push system.
The EKM Dash can also retrieve v.3, v.4, and v.5 Omnimeter data directly from the EKM Push3 system. This is very easy to setup. It allows you to take Push data and create .csv files, graphs and spreadsheets, store an unlimited number of reads on your local hard drive, send data to wattvision, create email reports, and more.

Information: EKM Dash User Manual
When making settings in a meter using the Dash software, you will be prompted for your meter password. This password is "0" by default.
We also help you to write your own software, by either communicating with the meter directly (harder) or interfacing with the EKM Push3 system (quite easy). To get started visit our Developer Portal.
For more information about how to set up EKM Dash, we encourage you to visit our online Knowledge Base, which includes a series of tutorials that will help you get started with the software.
