We are pleased to announce that openZmeter has been noticed by the local mediafor the first time. Five local digital newspapers published about us and our labour at university (Universidad de Almería, Spain).
Our university digital newspaper was the first one to publish an article about openZmeter and, within a week, four more local media were talking about us. Statements like “pioneer electric meter”, “enormous reach and importance”, “revolutionary energy saving method” and “unique in the world” can be found on the articles (links at the end of the page). This has helped our project to gain importance and has boosted our confindece in keeping researching about analizing and metering energy consumption.
The articles mentioned are only aviable in Spanish. For everybody to understand, here is an overview translated to English.
ADVANCED ELECTRIC METER – Summary
Seven members of the Electric and Hydraulics Ingineering group and Graphic Expression group from Universidad de Almería have published the development of ‘openZmeter’ in various scientific magazines. It’s a low cost advanced electric meter that helps lowering society energy footprint.
Beyond metering electricity consumption it can detect installation malfunctions. This makes openZmeter unique in the world.
It is an open software and hardware device so that any user can build it and modify it within its own resources. No advance knowledge is needed. It’s the first time an equipment like this is publicly available. Private enterprises, public administrations and individual users have now access to this advanced technology. This situation make it possible for the customers to build energy saving strategies and desing more efficient enery consumprion policies.
From an environmental point of view, openZmeter contributes to a proper use of energy. In addition, free software and hardware policy make it easier for everyone to contribute to this project. It helps to speed up openZmetre’s development.
