This is a very common concern in any family and house. Electricity is not only our masters but also our slaves if used properly. But most of the time it so happens that this slave revolts against us, the masters and wreaks havoc in our lives. Can you imagine a single day of sustenance without electricity? You cannot because it is used everywhere and in every way possible. But we can also pride ourselves in the discovery of something smart, aptly called Smart Meters.Smart Meters are basically electric meters, which are used, to record the consumption of electricity and send that information back for billing purpose. The data is collated mostly at an interval of one hour or may be less. A Smart Meter is usually AMI or an advanced metering infrastructure, and it differs from the traditional prototype of the AMR or the automatic meter reading as it makes it possible for the central system to communicate with the meter. When you visit the above mentioned website, you will be pleased to find that my smart meter was started as an endeavour, to safeguard the environment, and also the sky rocketing electricity tariff. Be it a small family or a large one, if the family members are made aware and educated about electricity monitoring and conservation it can help the community and society as a whole. If a family has installed solar panels and wants to know how much electricity they have exported, a Smart Meter will help them too. Such meters contain a wireless transmitter also known as zigbee, which is crucial because it helps you to connect your devices to it. They are also fitted with an in-Home Display, which as the name suggests, displays your power consumption and the tentative amount of your next bill. Similarly, you can connect other high end devices like ACs and smart phones, which can work by connecting them to a HAN or Home Area Network. You can definitely opt for the in-Home Display in Victoria as you are already charged these smart meters, even if they have not been installed. This is the best way to get some value back on your electricity bills in Victoria. If you want access to your electricity data, you can ask for it because it is free of cost, under sec 27.2 of Victoria Energy Retail Code. This electrical usage data will help you to assess the consumption as it is recorded every half hour of the day and night. Since you will be provided with lithium batteries, which have a life, of 5 years, you would not face the problem of rechargeable batteries that come with the WA units. We offer the lithium batteries with an eKo which is USB propelled and battery free. You can also utilise the features such as entering your tariffs, viewing usage graphs, and the eKo helps you to move ahead towards budgeted electricity consumption. The in-Home Display is the most striking feature of these VEET accredited meters as they will help you not only to keep a leash on your expenses but also identify the appliances which cost you more electricity, and help you to reduce your standby electricity costs. So, no need to be afraid of electricity any more, use it as your servant and not master. After all with these smart meters always around, you do not need a jolt at the end of the month.
