Getting Started¶
Use the getting started information to setup and interact with the Smart Energy Gateway.
Devices on a Smart Energy network will vary widely between installations. Procedures in the User’s Manual frequently specify generic tasks. See Add Devices to the ZigBee SE Network for any Digi devices you are joining to your Smart Energy network. For 3rd party Smart Energy devices, please see the documentation which came with your product for details on how to apply these procedures. A sample is provided that uses a serially-attached XBee to simulate various Smart Energy devices and is useful for evaluation and development. When a procedure in this manual calls for a second device other than the gateway this sample can be used. (See In-Premise Display/Meter Simulation Sample.)
The user is also expected to have a means of sending RPC requests and receiving RPC responses from the gateway to access the Smart Energy Framework’s API. In an actual installation this functionality would be provided by the utility application. In order to evaluate the gateway and for use during development a web application is provided to communicate with the gateway. When a procedure in this manual calls for sending an RPC request to your gateway this sample can be used. (See Digi-SE Debug Console.)
