Abstract
An automated power conversion device obtains information on an operational status of the automated power conversion device. Based on the obtaining, the automated power conversion device causes wireless transmission of advertising messages by using a non-connected signalling mode, such that the advertising messages comprise the information on the operational status of the automated power conversion device and are receivable by at least one terminal device of a communications system when the terminal device is located within the listening range of the connectionless signalling mode. The terminal device receives from the automated power conversion device, at least one of said advertising messages when the terminal device is located within the listening range of the connectionless signalling mode. Based on the receiving the terminal device informs the user of the terminal device on the operational status of the automated power conversion device.
