1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a power meter in communication with an external device, a request for a graphical user interface associated with at least one of (i) operation of the power meter or (ii) provision of electrical power to one or more loads;
generating, by the power meter based at least in part on the received request, information associated with the graphical user interface;
communicating, by the power meter to the external device, the generated information associated with the graphical user interface; and
collecting information associated with at least one of (i) the operation of the power meter or (ii) one or more devices connected to the power meter, wherein at least a portion of the collected information is utilized to generate the information associated with the graphical user interface, wherein collecting information comprises collecting at least one of (i) an age of the power meter, (ii) identification information for the power meter, (iii) information associated with one or more environmental conditions, (iv) status information for one or more buttons associated with the power meter, (v) phase loading information associated with the power meter, (vi) status information for one or more load control relays, (vii) information associated with an operation of a utility meter in communication with the power meter, (viii) information associated with an electrical load profile, or (ix) information associated with provision of power to one or more external loads.
