I would like to be able to query on and report on the data usage of my LX40. I am in a very data constrained situation, so I would like to use a PI that is on the same network as the LX40 to query and track the data and then send me an email/txt/whatever if there is an anomaly in my data usage. Is there an API on the LX40 that I can interact with?

Thanks

-Cam
