Subject: (REDS Project) Draft specification for a utility HAN/residential LAN gateway

All,

Attached is a draft software specification for a utility HAN / residential LAN gateway. As discussed at the REDS vendor meeting in Nov., the intent of this specification is to promote the implementation of a gateway that will allow residential display of near real-time Smart Meter energy consumption data. Please note that, since we anticipate the use of existing display devices, this draft covers only the design of the gateway itself.

We would appreciate any and all comments to CPMcParland@lbl.gov as early as possible — prior to Jan. 7th for incorporation into subsequent drafts. A follow-on phone conference meeting is planned for mid January to allow further discussion and refinement of this specification.

We appreciate your effort in reviewing this document and, in the spirit of the coming holidays, wish you all the best — and look forward to a great, productive New Year.

Regards,

Chuck McParland,
