A method and system for monitoring utility meter status, and transmitting a status message via an output device in communication with a universal communications interface in the event that the utility meter status meets a predetermined condition. The voltage level of a utility meter is monitored through a voltage input interface. A digital signal representing the voltage level is transmitted to a microprocessor. The microprocessor monitors the digital signal for a predetermined condition. Once a predetermined condition is met, the microprocessor transmits a status message to a universal communications interface connected to at least one output device. The status message is converted to the signal format employed by the output device and the converted status message is passed to the output device. The output device may then transmit the status message to a remote receiver. |
