No. Actually time constraint is interchangeable with load. If you have 
many thousands of metering devices, then even if they report once in 5 
minutes, with about 100 variables it does a lot of traffic and load no 
scripting language can handle on either side.

One of the ideas of IoT (an extremely dangerous one, of course) is to 
build layered controlling systems stretching over a large network of 
individual devices. E.g. a virtual power plant out of a couple a 
households and larger plants out of them and so on.
