INPREMISEDISPLAY/METERSIMULATORSAMPLE
Overview
This sample simulates the basic functionality of a Smart Energy In-Premise Display or
Meter with an XBee attached to a personal computer such as an XStick, XBee USB
adapter, or other serially-attached XBee. It can be used to demonstrate Smart Energy
functionality when real SE IPDs and meters are not convenient or available. If you do not
already have one of these devices they may be purchased from the Digi website.
XBee modules are not Smart Energy certified for standalone use. In order to join the
XBee module to the gateway a test certificate will need to be installed on both the XBee
module and the gateway.
See “Appendix B” on page 131 for more details on installing
test certificates. In particular, obtain a test certificate for both the gateway and the XBee
module and install the gateway's test certificate prior to executing the following
procedure.
Getting Started
1. Connect the serially-attached XBee to your personal computer.
2. Upgrade the serially-attached XBee to use Smart Energy router firmware if it is not
already. Full instructions and firmware can be found in the ZB to SE conversion kit at
http://ftp1.digi.com/support/images/zb-to-smart-energy-conversion-kit.zip.
3. Download and install the In-Premise Display/Meter Simulator from www.digi.com/
X2SE
4. Start In-Premise Display/Meter Simulator.
