Abstract: A metering system for metering consumption of a commodity. The metering system comprising a meter socket and a meter. The meter comprising a memory, a plurality of sensors, and a processor. Each of the plurality of sensors is configured to detect a different condition of the meter. The processor is configured to determine a plurality of events that have occurred based on the conditions detected by the sensors; compare the plurality of events to a table stored in the memory of the meter, the table defining an action to be performed by the meter for each of a plurality of different combinations of the plurality of events; select an action from the table for which the plurality of events match a corresponding combination of events stored in the table; and perform the selected action.

Abstract: A metering system for metering consumption of a commodity. The metering system includes a meter socket, a meter, and a controller. The meter socket has a tag with identification information. The meter includes a sensor configured to read the identification information from the tag of the meter socket and provide a signal indicative of the identification information from the tag. The controller includes a memory and a processor and is configured to record energy consumption data from the meter. The processor is configured to receive the signal indicative of the identification information of the tag and associate the energy consumption data with the identification information of the tag. The processor is further configured to store the energy consumption data associated with the identification information of the tag in the memory.
