So you live in an apartment or house and use electricity. Big deal! And it really is. Let us see why. All the electric energy delivered for your convenience goes through at least one measuring device – the meter. That will be in our digitized world an electronic device called in Germany for unknown reasons a '''smart-meter''' or moderne Messeinrichtung ('''mME'''). This thing in its initial configuration is not “smart” at all, given the idea "smart" means also: able to communicate. It’s not. It is an electronic counter with no ability to communicate. The meter resides logically in a '''market-locatio'''n or '''MaLo''' (address of the building or apartment), which is associated with your invoicing details (customer name & address). The meter itself or multiple meters represent the '''measuring-location''' or '''MeLo'''. Ant this is bound to a '''meter-ID''' which is then associated with the physical meter, which again has a '''serial number'''.
