SMETS1 PPMID firmware updates
Changes have been made to support the update of firmware for Initial Operating Capability (IOC) and Middle Operating Capability (MOC) SMETS1 Prepayment Interface Devices (PPMIDs) so that if issues are encountered in production, the PPMID software can be updated remotely without disruption to the consumer.
