Families and businesses are already opening their doors to “Open Meter”, the 2.0 digital meter by E-Distribuzione (Enel). It is a small but powerful device also connected to the world of the web, ready to host a multitude of apps, open to the collaboration of all electricity managers (and others) of the free market. It will guide us to a more conscious use of energy, to save money but also to make our electrical system safer. How it is made, how it arrives, what new products it already offers today and promises for the future: you can find everything in the tutorial posted on FIRST Tutorial.
Open Meter immediately provides us with an up-to-date profile of our consumption at different times of the day, with surveys every 15 minutes which not only allow us to understand (and eventually rationalize) our consumption habits but also allow us to interact with the world of competing electricity operators, who will thus be able to propose offers based on the specific needs of each customer. The (free) replacement operation, announced with a paper notice in homes and businesses, lasts a few minutes without the need for system adaptations or masonry works, as was the case for the replacement of old analog meters with first generation digital meters.
