MbusCommand
This protocol sends data to devices, provided the device supports this functionality. For example, if you are replacing a
meter, you may use this command to update a value in the new meter with the accumulated value from the outgoing meter. Another
example might be to set the current date and time in a new meter, which would replace the default date and time set by the
manufacturer.
