  Description     : RTL-SDR receiver for smart utility meters

rtlamr is a program for using an RTL-SDR (and maybe other SDRs?) to receive readings from smart utility meters. I use this software, an willing to maintain it, and will make sure it stays in good shape. I have confirmed that it works with commonly available meters.

This is useful for a variety of creative purposes, such as analyzing one's own energy usage, or even energy usage within a community, or to identify water leaks. As far as I know, no other packages provide similar functionality. The closest package is rtl_433, and it doesn't support these devices.

I'm neither DD nor DM and will need a sponsor. I will maintain this either within the Go Team or the Ham Radio Team. I've CC'ed both of them to see if it piques their interest or if they have a preference.

I would really like it if a fellow ham would see about getting it to work with an alternate SDR.
