Ah, life is more complicated than I thought. First, thank you, for information about such thing! I've worked on create Lora network for large City in 2017, and at that time this all look like Babylon tower, where everybody talk on his own language and even existing standards was not widely adopted. Second, as I said before, as I see, regulators just now (about cup years) noticed problem of Smart Meters standards missing, and work still in progress. From what I see, situation is very similar to automobiles with self-driving - some countries are more involved and for some reasons have more ready for self-driving environment (like tiny Singapore). In others things on different stages. Somewhere pilot projects appear and running some temporary regulations. Somewhere autopilot is just unnoticed for regulators, they doing things like 20 years ago, when these technologies just does not existed. And as engineer, I could say, I just understand, why Smart Home devices manufacturers made communications hub, but I also must say, I have few Smart Home devices and I not planned to buy communication hub - I just made my own firmware (to be honest, what I have are all clones of ESP32 and I customized firmware from some opensource) and connect them to my own server. And you may already guess, in my country regulators are just ignore Smart Meters. BTW, greetings from Ukraine, country at war! I don't know exactly why this happen, but looks like exist some Smart countries, which are much more successful than others in use new technologies for good.
