# CoupleMbusDevice

## Description

CoupleMbusDevice is a request to couple a gateway and a m-bus device. The request needs the following parameters:

* DeviceIdentification
* MbusDeviceIdentification
* Force

All requests have similar response behaviour which is described in [ResponseMessages](/gxf/domains/smartmetering/responsemessages.md)

If Force has value true, the check if Mbus device is connected to other device will be ignored

[GetCoupleMbusDeviceResponse](/gxf/domains/smartmetering/smartmeteringws/installation/getcouplembusdeviceresponse.md) returns if the result is successful from the request. The response request contains the DeviceIdentification and CorrelationUid which is received from the CoupleMbusDevice request.
