If you have watched the video on how to read an electric meter from the home page of Meter Data, then you will be aware that a Smart Electric Meter is going to do do away with the need for a person to manually conduct a reading. How is this going to be done and what do these Smart Meters look like? Not everyone in the world has seen a Smart Electricity Meter yet or has any idea what to expect, so we thought that these videos might be a good introduction to some of the companies who manufacture and distribute smart electric meters. What better way to do this than to show a video of a traditional electricity meter and a smart meter side by side. When you see two meters side by side, the smart one is on the right hand side and the traditional electricity meter is on the left.
Considering the fact that there are so many existing traditional electricity meters that have been installed in the premises of millions of user's homes that will eventually be replaced, it is interesting to see how fast some of these new smart electricity meters can actually be installed. Here is a demonstration video. Notice that the meter is built in a way that it fits into the existing connections.
