Smart meters

Just like your traditional analog meter, a digital meter measures your consumption. The key difference is that this digital version has an electronic display and integrated communication technology. This allows the device to send and receive data itself. The major advantage of smart digital meters is that they provide real-time information about your energy consumption. So you don't have to wait for periodic readings—how convenient is that! Because you have a real-time overview of your consumption, you can use energy more consciously. Smart meters thus promote energy awareness and lay the foundation for the future integration of energy management systems. Furthermore, the meters can be read remotely and allow for two-way communication of information. They can not only send data to the energy supplier but also receive information. Just think of tariff changes or updates from the energy supplier.
