Summary:Smart grids have attracted considerable interest in the research community and among market actors. The main interest of smart grid is to continuously monitor the whole system energy and optimize it, in order to increase the overall energy efficiency. To this purpose, a power energy manager like Linky is needed to ensure the exchange of control and sensor information between the smart grid network and the smart grid end-device equipment within the house. This article gives a full understanding of the Linky meter that operates under a two-way efficient radio home automation protocol: KNX-RF (868MHz) and ZigBee (2.4 GHz). In this context, this article presents a study over the KNX-RF protocol with respect to the ZigBee protocol in terms of range, consumption, robustness and configuration. It also provides a study of a typical use-case scenario including Linky smart meter.
