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 15):
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 a 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; and \n a computing device within the multi-device module and communicatively coupled to the communications interface and to the radio, wherein the computing device is configured to provide interval data functions by:\n receiving a pulse from a metering device on the host meter device via the communications interface, the pulse indicating resource consumption, \n calculating, a volume of resource consumption based on the pulse, and \n storing the volume of resource consumption in memory on the multi-device module, \n generating an data message that includes the resource consumption, and \n causing the radio to send the data message via the antenna interface and the wireless network to a central system; and wherein the computing device is configured to facilitate remote control of the host meter device by: \n receiving, via the wireless network and the radio, a command from the central system, \n processing the command to determine a control message for the metering device, wherein the control message provides instructions for controlling the metering device; and \n sending the control message to the host metering device via the communications interface to control the metering device.
