Claim 13:
14. A method for setting control system logic (CSL) of and using a smart meter block, the method comprising:
providing a smart meter block and a control system platform (CSP), the CSP comprising a data repository, a computer processor, and a memory, wherein the CSP is operatively connected to the smart meter block;
upon activation of the smart meter block, searching locally for a control system element configuration (CSEC); determining whether the CSEC is found locally;
when the CSEC is found locally:
setting the CSL using the CSEC; and

when the CSEC is not found locally:
generating a configuration request message using a control system element identifier (CSEI);
transmitting the configuration request message to the CSP;
transmitting the configuration request message from the CSP to the smart meter block;
receiving, by the smart meter block, the configuration request message from the CSP setting the CSL using the CSEC,

wherein the CSEC is a programming language script that mandates a behavior of the smart meter block;
the method further comprising, at the CSP:
receiving, from the smart meter block, a state logging message comprising measurement device state information (MDSI) and a control system element identifier (CSEI), wherein the state logging message is generated when determining a number of measurements obtained from the MDSI has reached or exceeded a predefined number of measurements threshold and determining that a file size of the MDSI has reached or exceeded a predefined file size threshold;
storing the MDSI in the data repository;
processing the MDSI to obtain analytic information;
obtaining, from the data repository, client device notification criteria (CDNC) associated with the CSEI;
performing a comparison between the MDSI and the analytic information against the CDNC;
determining, based on the comparison, that at least one notification trigger specified in the CDNC has been met;
generating, in response to the determining, an analysis notification message comprising the MDSI and the analytic information; and
transmitting the analysis notification message to a client device operatively connected to the CSP via a network.
