What better place than drought stricken CA, for a San Diego IP firm to "get its feet wet."

SOCALGAS is in the final stage of installing 5 million smart meter attachments, mine was done 3 weeks ago.

It's a simple rectangular battery powered attachment, placed over the face of the analog dial type reader. It sends a signal via radio frequency, every 6 hours for about 2 seconds. The battery lasts up to10 years. It's not about leaks, but costs savings and accuracy, plus most meters are in the back yard, locked gates, dogs....

I watched the guy install it, took 7 minutes and he said, look for your water meter going smart one day too.

We'll Pat and Kevin, do your thing.
