Claim 0:
1. A monitoring device, comprising:
one or more voltage sensors integral with a housing for detecting a voltage of a power cable on a distribution transformer(s);
one or more environmental sensors including a smoke sensor and/or fire sensor configured to detect smoke emitting from the transformer or fire, respectively, in an area surrounding the distribution transformer(s);, a processor configured to monitor the environmental sensors including a smoke and/or fire sensor, the processor further configured to transmit a message if environmental conditions including smoke and/or fire is detected at or surrounding the distribution transformer(s) to a central computing device so that remedial action may be taken, wherein the processor is further configured for verifying a correct mapping association of meters to transformers or uncovering asset mapping errors within a utility's system.
