Smart meters are electronic devices used for monitoring and measurement of electricity consumption. They are devices capable of providing minute-by-minute readings of electricity consumption. Similarly, registers and alerts automatically when the meter is manipulated.
Smart meters are much more efficient in managing information and can perform tasks where previously an employee intervention was necessary.
Through these devices you can do an energy analysis of consumption in housing and thereby create strategies for optimizing consumption. Also, record the quality of energy supplied by detecting failures and blackouts, and thereby generate alerts the provider to maintenance issues and overall network management.
