Abstract:
A radio and advanced metering system. In an example, a multi-device module includes a host device interface configured to connect to a host device. The host device interface includes a communications interface that can send communications to and receive communications from the host device. The multi-device module includes a radio that can to connect to a wireless network and a microcontroller configurable to provide metering functions and smart metering applications.

Claim (Index 9):
A multi-device module comprising:\n a host device interface within the multi-device module, the host device interface configured to connect the multi-device module to a host meter device, wherein the host device interface includes:\n a communications interface configured to send communications to and receive communications from the host meter device; \n a power interface configured to receive power from the host meter device; and \n an antenna interface configured to connect a radio on the multi-device module with an antenna on the host meter device; \n the radio configured to transmit radio frequency signals to a wireless network via the antenna interface and to receive radio frequency signals from the wireless network via the antenna interface; \n a first computing device within the multi-device module and communicatively coupled to the communications interface and to the radio, wherein the first computing device is configured to:\n receive resource consumption information from a metering device on the host meter device via the communications interface, and \n cause the radio to send an interval data message via the antenna interface and the wireless network to a central system; \n receive, via the wireless network and the radio, a command from the central system, \n process the command to determine a control message for the metering device, wherein the control message provides instructions for controlling the metering device; and \n send the control message from the first computing device to the host meter device via the communications interface; \n a second computing device communicatively coupled to the first computing device and configured to:\n receive resource information from the first computing device; \n process the resource consumption information to generate interval data, wherein the interval data indicates consumption over at least one interval period, \n store the interval data in memory on the multi-device module, \n generate an interval data message that includes at least a portion of the interval data, and \n send the interval data message to the first computing device.
