Smart meters

Just like your classic analog meter, the digital meter measures your consumption. The big difference is that this digital version has an electronic display and built-in communication technology. This allows the device itself to send and receive data. The big advantage of smart digital meters is that they provide real-time information about your energy consumption. So you don't have to wait for a periodic reading, convenient anyway! Because you have real-time insight into your consumption, you can become more energy conscious. Smart meters promote energy awareness and lay the foundation for future integration of energy management systems. Furthermore, meters can be read remotely and support two-way flow of information. They can not only send data to the energy supplier, but also receive information. Think of rate changes or updates from the energy supplier.
