Details of the Advance Meter and options for how it communicates. As a last resort, could it be plugged in to a wifi router? #40

The one we use currently is called EDM1 Mk7 but we may switch to Kyfa. They do not have a in house display supplied like the ones on the SMETS meters being used in the general roll out but they are better for the half hour metering communication options required for Energy Local. Much better than an inhouse display you will be able to see all your data and the club’s online at the online dashboard instead. We can also adapt this in future to your needs.

A breakdown of consumption is provided on the bills, broken down by tariff and whether it was from the local generator or from Coop Energy. The default communication broadband (with wifi in the home) with LORA radio as a back up. However GSM (i.e. mobile phone signal) or zigbee are possible.

Potentially an Ethernet cable could be plugged into the meter instead of wifi but then your router would have to be next to your meter.
