A head-end system (34) for an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) network (32) includes a processor (40). The processor (40) is configured for receiving event signals from AMI meters (30). The event signals are indicative of events occurring at customer locations. The processor (40) determines whether to transmit a command signal to a corresponding AMI meter in response to receiving an event signal from the corresponding AMI meter. The command signal is configured to instruct the corresponding AMI meter (30) to perform at least one task in response to the at least one event. The processor (40) transmits the command signal to the corresponding AMI meter in response to determining to transmit the command signal.
