What CI Class would be used for a "Smart" Power Monitoring Unit?

[Dave Hoglund]

We have a need to manage "Power Monitoring" devices  (used to track energy consumption real time) for things that are plugged into it.   (also known as a "Smart meter"     see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_meter)
These devices have Serial#, IP address, and assuming could be discovered.

Not sure of the proper CI Class.  Assuming it could be a subclass under Facility Hardware / Power Equipment?
Thoughts?

[Rahul Priyadars]

assuming could be discovered.---> How these devices are accessed SNMP/User Login?

What is the OS for these devices?

Did you resolve how to classify the metering devices satisfactorily ?

I have a similar conundrum.

Hi Graham,
Not yet, but I'm thinking of using the cmdb_ci_handheld_computing class, as most of our RFID's are  Zebra handheld computer RFID devices, although we do use Truck mount devices too.

Oops,  wrong topic.  I was thinking this was regarding RFID devices, but now realized it was for Power Monitoring devices.
