About Install Events

Whenever a device is installed at a Metered Service Point, an installation event is created. Installation events capture the history of the devices that have been installed at a Metered Service Point. This allows consumption for a Service Point to be calculated over time. In technical terms, installation events (or Install Events) link a specific Device Configuration to a Metered Service Point.

There are specific Install Event business objects for different types of devices, including smart meters, manual meters, and communication components.

While a device is installed at a Metered Service Point, it may be turned off (and back on again). The installation event that records the original installation date and time also records the dates and times when the device has been turned on and off. When a device is removed, the original installation event is updated with the removal date and time.
