Another Adam Usage Meter (AAUM) is an open-source, desktop gadget application designed to track and display real-time internet data usage. It specifically serves customers of Adam Internet, a well-known Australian internet service provider (ISP) that was eventually integrated into iiNet. Key Features of AAUM (Version 5)
Developed and maintained by the open-source community, the software migrated through several iterations. The code repository is hosted on the AAUMv5 GitHub page. It offers the following core capabilities:
API Integration: Transitioned to Adam API version 1.0, eliminating the need for users to input sensitive account usernames and passwords.
Token Authentication: Operates securely using a unique API token provided by the ISP.
Broad Plan Support: Compatible with nearly all historical Adam Internet plan structures, with the sole exception of legacy “AdamTalk” features.
Multi-Account Tracking: Supports configuring and displaying multiple data gadgets simultaneously to track distinct internet accounts.
Connection Diagnostics: Shows vital connection statistics for ADSL lines, including local IPv4 addresses, sync speeds, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), and line attenuation.
Resilient Architecture: Rewritten to isolate raw usage data from the visual UI, preventing formatting bugs like long plan names breaking the background frame. Target Audience
This lightweight utility is built primarily for legacy subscribers and network hobbyists who want to keep close tabs on their data thresholds right from their desktop screen environment, avoiding the need to log into an ISP browser portal manually.
If you are trying to set this up or need to resolve a specific network monitoring problem, please let me know: Which operating system you are trying to install it on?
Whether you are using a legacy ADSL connection or an NBN connection? If you have already generated your ISP API token? GitHub – hamradio/AAUMv5: Another Adam Usage Meter
