Are you from Germany?

It's common all over Europe. It's short range wireless btw, a person from the company has to walk the building halls to collect the data from the meters for example, or come near the house. They use this on all types of meters — power, gas, water.

They still have to do a visual check once in a while because some people are shifty fuckers and can't be trusted. 😄
