Abstract: A method of monitoring parameters of an electrical installation comprises performing plural successive iterations of a process in which a difference between a current set of one or more monitored parameters of the electrical installation and a previous set of one or more monitored parameters of the electrical installation is compared to a threshold criterion. When the difference is determined as exceeding the threshold criterion, the current set of one or more monitored parameters is transmitted and/or stored. Conversely, when the difference is determined as not exceeding the threshold criterion, the current set of one or more monitored parameters is not transmitted and/or not stored. This can help to reduce the consumption of data bandwidth and/or data storage.

Abstract: Example embodiments provide systems and methods for validating an action using a physical token, such as a near-field-communications (NFC)-capable chip. A server may receive a request to perform the action, and may require validation from the holder of the physical token. The holder of the physical token may log into an application using their log-in credentials, providing a first tier of authentication. The holder may then scan the physical token with a reader on their mobile device, which provides a second tier of authentication. The scan may reveal a value for a counter on the physical token, which may be compared to a counter at the server in order to validate that the physical token has been used as expected. If the server deems it appropriate, a third (or further) tier may be required, such as scanning a photographic identification of the holder.
