Add ComEd support
I just got access to my ComEd account meter data via UtilityAPI. What do I need to do to help implement this?

Oh I see, you're scraping this from the utility website. Good idea, especially since it seems UtilityAPI may charge for data access. It's a bit unclear at this point and I'm waiting to resolve some technical issues with ComEd and UtilityAPI, but in the meantime they gave me limited free access to the data.
I believe there's a standardized Green Button API which UtilityAPI uses. I suspect some utilities will allow access to this officially, like ComEd, paid access or otherwise. It would be nice to directly support that scenario as well, but I'll see what I can do with either approach.
In the ComEd scraping approach, I believe they only provide data that is pretty stale (about three days old for some reason)

I'm not actually scraping. we are using the Greenbutton API, but to get the OAuth credentials, we need to get that from your provider.
Oh, ok that's great. This should be not too difficult to port then. I will try to get to this. Thank you!
