METERS AND MORE to showcase Smart Energy Gateway at European Utility Week

BRUSSELS - Nov. 14, 2016 - PRLog -- Meters & More AISBL, the international non-profit association created in 2010 to maintain and support the Smart Metering Information and Telecommunication Protocol (SMITP), today announced that a Smart Energy Gateway based on METERS AND MORE extended protocol for applications to reduce energy consumption such as home energy monitoring and management, will be featured at the Meters and more booth #3F51at European Utility Week.  The event is taking place 15-17 November 2016, in Barcelona, Spain.

"The Meters and More Association is sighting scenarios that go over the Meter and are directed to interesting perspectives all relate to: utility, manufacturers and consumers. In fact, our technical committees are engaged in opening new interesting prospects for going beyond the metering" said Giacomo Gargano, General Manager of the Board of Directors at METERS AND MORE.

"The Smart Energy Gateway is a key element of the METERS AND MORE "Beyond the Meter" programme to accelerate smart energy and IoT benefits for consumers in accordance with European Commission recommendations on the provision of energy consumption information" declared Manuel Jesus De Tellechea, Chairman of the TCS (Technical Committee for Specifications) at METERS AND MORE.  "Within the TCS we are developing an extension to the METERS AND MORE protocol for communication between the smart meter and in-home devices that enables the interchange of energy consumption information as well as enabling the inclusion of new services based on the METERS AND MORE protocol.  We look forward to expanding our portfolio of METERS AND MORE certified products to include gateways compliant with SMITP."

METERS AND MORE implements a large number of communication interfaces, supporting remote and local communication with the meter device. The gateway can connect with other smart devices in the house using other standard communication: wifi, zigbee, bluetooth, etc. Advanced meter infrastructure based on the METERS AND MORE protocol will serve as the foundation for future smart grid development and value added services such as innovative energy monitoring services.
