Cat /dev/ttyS0 returns no value

Hi all,
I'm trying to get my fluksoV2 to send out snmp data to my monitoring system by following this great article of Ben Ronsse: http://oniriabe.dyndns.org:1111/intranet/index.php/weetjes/linux/208-flukso

However when I executed the command cat /dev/ttyS0 as described in the blog I get just an empty screen with no output.
I've already restarted the daemon but that did not make any difference.
If I run logread | grep pulse I get the info but this is originated from the syslog so not really usefull.

Printscreen:
root@flukso-1b6e80:~# /etc/init.d/flukso restart
Daemon returned 0 as return value.
Daemon returned 0 as return value.
root@flukso-1b6e80:~# cat /dev/ttyS0

All help is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I'm using a Flukso V2 with firmware 216.

Ben's article was based on a Fluksometer v1, which indeed used ttyS0 for communication with the sensor board. This is no longer the case.

I'm working on integrating an MQTT message broker (Mosquitto) into the Fluksometer v2 architecture. Once we have this in place, making an SNMP 'plug' should be quite straightforward.

Thanks for your answer.
I'll check whether i can get the data out through the standard API.
SNMP would be a nice shortcut though.
