Abstract
An adapter, and a method of using the adapter, for an electric meter, which includes a set of connections for interfacing to a panel box, a set of connectors for interfacing to the electric meter; and circuitry for intercepting FAN or HAN traffic, injecting FAN or HAN traffic and communicating intercepted traffic and local information from the electric meter and sensors over a network to a management entity that collects and process the data. Data from environmental, electric quality, and usage sensors are supplied to the network. External commands, originating in a management entity or with a customer are provided from the network. A computer readable non-transitory storage medium stores instructions of a computer program, which when executed by a computer system results in performance of steps of a method for intercepting FAN or HAN traffic, injecting FAN or HAN traffic, transmitting intercepted FAN or HAN traffic or utility usage data to a network, by using a utility usage sensor to acquire data representing utility usage; and using electrical circuitry in the adapter for communicating information from the sensor over a network to a management entity that collects and process the data.
