Z-Wave-Capable "Smart Metering"

Horstmann, manufacturer of energy controls and metering devices,
offers consumers transparency and control for their energy consumption
with its "H" Series and "SG" Series product lines. The combination of
electric/gas meter and consumption indication gives consumers an
overview of their energy usage – by the half hour, by the day, or by
the month. Using GSM/GPRS, the Smart Metering data from the "SG"
Series is transmitted to the power company for improved customer
information and billing. The Home Energy Monitor receives the data via
Z-Wave Mesh networking technology, and can also be integrated into a
Home Control network.Smart Metering technology is – thanks to
intelligent metering – a basis for an individual statement of energy
costs. With new rates oriented to actual requirements, energy
suppliers create incentives for customers to take measures which
reduce consumption. The load shedding capabilities of a home control
solution combined with the energy monitoring system can produce
substantial savings in a very short amount of time
