Adding the possibility to discover time difference out of accepted time difference during time synchronization. Information can be used to mark meter data values as trusted (within accepted time difference) or not trusted (outside accepted time difference). This feature increases the quality of collected meter data used for billing purposes.

This feature was released in 3.2.6 for CMe2100, CMi2110, CMi2130

Example to enable time difference event future where a SMS till be sent

set timeevent.enabled=true
set timeevent.sms.to=+460712547458
set common.timeevent.timedifference=7
set timeevent.sms.enabled=true
set timeevent.sms.template=3

If a time synchronization is done and there is a time difference greater than 7 seconds, a SMS will be sent to inform that last time synchronization overreached configured settings.

Example to enable time difference event feature where a HTTP post will be sent to inform that last time synchronization overreached configured settings.

set timeevent.enabled=true
set timeevent.http.url=https://event.theurl.com
set common.timeevent.timedifference=7
set timeevent.http.enabled=true
set timeevent.http.template=3005
