If I had to guess, it's likely a response to an [unauthenticated] inquiry. If so it's probably not quite the same but effectively similar.

I didn't notice a lot of change at their data collection base station (which happens to be at the corner of my driveway), so I don't know if they already had a transmitter in addition to a receiver, or if it's small enough to fit in the existing equipment box or if they're using a different station.
