Automated Meter Reading for Dynamic Electricity Tariffs

• Capture meter readings from smart meters via the iMSys or alternative reading device and feed this data to the NodeRED environment.
• Continuously update meter readings (via SendReading node) and dynamically adjust device operation according to the latest tariff information to ensure cost optimization.
• Use the nr-eaf-amr node to query the energy supplier or aggregator's backend to retrieve the current dynamic tariffs.
• Implement decision logic based on the BestPrice node in the flow to determine whether to activate or deactivate a device based on the retrieved tariffs.
• If the tariff indicates lower energy costs, send a signal to switch the device on; if the tariff is higher, send a signal to switch the device off.
