Time of Use (Battery-free)

Landis+Gyr offers the capability of the endpoint to remotely control up to four TOU schedules. The

Meter requires Network Time to keep TOU. The endpoint keeps time once acquired from the Net-

work. The meter must be enabled for TOU.

ZigBee/Home Area Network (HAN) Functionality

With the Gridstream RF G5 FOCUS AXe module, Landis+Gyr has the ZigBee radio platform for

Gridstream RF which gives a utility the ability to increase consumer awareness of energy consump-

tion and encourage personal responsibility for curbing the energy load. ZigBee released a Smart

Energy Profile (SEP) application in early 2008 and it is quickly becoming a standard for communi-

cating between energy management devices as part of a home area network (HAN). The ZigBee

radio is located on the Gridstream RF AXe module creating an Energy Service Interface (ESI) that

manages the bi-directional communication with ZigBee radio-based devices such as in-home dis-

plays, smart thermostats and direct load control devices. See the figure below for a demonstration of

the communication flow between Command Center and the devices in the home.

Figure 1 - 4. ZigBee Communication

Using Command Center, the utility sets up the HAN remotely via RF network via a provisioning

process. The utility registers each device and a security handshake occurs to ensure protected and

closed communication between the meter, endpoint and energy devices in the home.

The utility sends downstream pricing information and text messages via Command Center (or 3

party integrated application) to the module, which uses the ZigBee radio to push down the informa-

tion to the devices. Because the solution is bi-directional, the devices are also pulling meter data and

accurate time that is maintained at the endpoint.

The Gridstream RF G5 FOCUS AXe module refreshes data from the meter every 30 seconds and

makes it available to all the devices. The endpoint makes available kWh values (delivered only) up

to five dial resolution and instantaneous kW up to 99.999 for display. It supports up to five provi-

sioned devices and makes available five tiers for pricing events to align with the meter's number of

rates.Text messaging is limited to 80 characters.

 NOTE: ZigBee radio devices are consumer products and should not be considered part of a manda-

tory load control program, nor a replacement for viewing energy consumption with the same accu-

racy found on the meter display. The utility will need to conduct some training of both internal
