摘要:
A method and system of virtual energy management display involves periodically receiving via a mesh local area network electronic data representing energy management-related information by a RF communication-enabled memory storage device coupled to an electronic display device within a home area network. Electronic data representing telemetry information is likewise periodically received by the RF communication-enabled memory storage device from at least one RF communication-enabled energy management-related device within the home area network. The electronic data is converted to a common format by an application running at least in part on the memory storage device and displayed on a screen associated with the display device.
摘要:
A method and system are provided for associating a meter to a mesh gate through a mesh network. The method may include selecting a prospective mesh network. The method may include automatically transmitting a neighbor request to the prospective mesh network. The method may include receiving a neighbor response from a neighbor node from different mesh networks. The method may include transmitting an association request to mesh gate via the prospective mesh network. The method may include receiving an association response responsive to a successful authentication by the mesh gate.

Firmware, software, or data of a target device may be upgraded by a head end system using one or more of a plurality of systems and methods adapted to upgrade the target device in a variety of different network topologies.
摘要:
When a metering coupled to a network loses its primary power source and has a secondary power source, such as a super-capacitor, it recognizes and reports a power outage. In this case, the head end server may verify the power outage report by querying through the downstream nodes coupled to the network about the power outage. When a node loses its primary power source and has no secondary power source, it will fail to make a regularly scheduled report at the appropriate time. Consequently, the head end server verify the power outage by polling downstream nodes coupled to the HAN about the power outage to deduce whether a power outage.
摘要:
Devices and systems control energy usage in accordance with instructions from a head end system. A device may be instructed to cease energy consumption. Another device may allow users to override some instructions. Messages may be provided to users to request the cessation of energy consumption; the users may, but need not comply.
摘要:
The following describes data structures, communication protocol formats and process flows for controlling and facilitating secure communications between the nodes of a mesh network, such as utility meters and gateway nodes comprising a utility network. The enabled processes include association, information exchange, route discovery and maintenance and the like for instituting and maintaining a secure mesh network.
摘要:
An authorization token may provide security for operations. The authorization token may be encrypted by a key manager of a head end system so that only a target device may decrypt the authorization token and perform an operation.
