Background. This pilot study focuses on the development, implementation, optimization and validation of a new smart metering solution for electricity and water consumption for smart management and balance of electricity and water resources. Materials and methods. The developed system consists of a software platform and energy meters with the IEC62056-21 protocol and CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) with LoRaWAN technology. One of the directions for solving this problem is the precise control and accounting of energy resources from all meters, without human intervention. It is this direction that should provide a significant part of the total energy, gas, water savings, the potential of which is more than 1/3 of the total current consumption. Its basis is instrumental support, which is a set of systems of instruments and devices, communication channels, algorithms for monitoring and managing the parameters of energy consumption. Results and conclusions. The basis for the formation and development of instrumental support are automated systems for the integrated accounting of utilities.
