Smart Energy version 2.0 is currently under development in cooperation with a number of other standards development groups. It will offer IP-based control for advanced metering infrastructure and home area networks. This version will not replace ZigBee Smart Energy version 1, rather it will offer utilities and energy service providers another choice when creating their advanced metering infrastructure and home area networks (HANs).
In addition to all the services and devices found in ZigBee Smart Energy version 1, version 2.0 will feature control of plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging, installation, configuration and firmware download for HAN devices, prepay services, user information and messaging, load control, demand response and common information and application profile interfaces for wired and wireless HANs.
