Is it really worth the effort?

According to Tim(*), both versions of the StreamSmart have problems. Apparently the company has put a lot of effort in keeping the protocol a secret. So, it's closed source, it's expensive, and there are obstacles in the protocol making it difficult to design a good logger. That's how I see the situation, especially since there appear to be no Fourier projects in the large Arduino community.

It is the streamsmart firmware upgradeable? because even if the data is obfuscated, it needs to be sniffed once, with so many errors I don't think they wasted hardware protecting or encoding the data.

Sure it does not worth the effort in terms of money saving (?), but I often like to data collect information and it would be lovely able to use the streamsmart app from the prime menu.
