Anyway, I will be contacting SMUD this week as I am turning on new service for our new place. I had to google pretty hard to find anything about smart meters that wasn’t from the tin-hat crowd.

But appart from that I couldn’t find that much, maybe you can send an email to the SMUD customer service to find out what the status is. SMUD’s Krause says utilities are also waiting for ZigBee 2.0 - which has some advanced features and improved security - to be released next year. SMUD will then test ZigBee in “a limited fashion” during March 2010, but SMUD has no “specific timeline for activating/upgrading the chips with ZigBee at this time.” For Southern California Edison (SCE), the utility won’t have ZigBee in its smart meters disabled throughout deployment, but SCE doesn’t plan to pilot any approved home energy management devices until after mid-2010 when it is doing a software upgrade for all of its smart meters. That sounds a lot better than having to mess around with funky brackets and externally powered devices! If you guys can make this work I’m pretty sure you will make a lot of people happy!! I found this after a little googling: Sacramento Municipal Utility District’s (SMUD) Smart Meter Project Manager Erik Krause told us via email that all SMUD smart meters will use the ZigBee wireless communication, but that ZigBee will not be enabled during deployment.įree Download International Volleyball 2006 Pc. Customers can attempt to register any ZigBee SEP 1.0 or 1.1 device with their SmartMeter™, but PG&E cannot provide any guarantee that devices not included on PG&E’s list of validated devices are compatible. Other devices may be compatible on PG&E’s network. Your device depends on that information to show you how much electricity you’re using. When you sign up and activate this second radio, your SmartMeter™ can take the electricity use information it already gathers and make it available to your selected compatible device securely, and in real-time.

The first relays your consumption and meter status back to PG&E to help us deliver your energy reliably and efficiently. Wow, it seems like a lot of SmartMeters might be able to directly connect to the SmartThings hub! Your SmartMeter™ has two radios.
