# 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](https://grid-exchange-fabric.gitbook.io/gxf/domains/smartmetering/responsemessages)

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

[GetCoupleMbusDeviceResponse](https://grid-exchange-fabric.gitbook.io/gxf/domains/smartmetering/smartmeteringws/installation/getcouplembusdeviceresponse) returns if the result is successful from the request. The response request contains the DeviceIdentification and CorrelationUid which is received from the CoupleMbusDevice request.
