Overview
- Mexico’s state utility outlined Bluetooth meters that connect to a phone or smart-home assistant to show live electricity use.
- The system would enable remote reading, cutoffs, and reconnections at any hour, which could speed service restoration and billing updates.
- CFE says the design uses an autonomous metering architecture, and one installed unit could serve as an access point for up to 500 meters.
- Digital monitoring is meant to flag faults faster and deter illegal hookups known as diablitos through real-time alerts.
- The project remains in development with no start date or defined user groups, and CFE has not detailed data policies or how remote cutoffs would be governed.
