FM432e on electricity meters

FM432e – IoT LoRaWAN Sensor – Electricity

  • Plug & Play: non-intrusive optical reading technology, easy and quick to install, no electric contact
  • Universal: compatible with all electricity meters (with blinking LED or rotating disk)
  • Customized: multiple versions (1mn, 10mn, 15mn, 1h) adapted to you remote reading requirement
  • Accurate: power load curve in Watts, with 1-minute time step
  • Designed and manufactured in France

Description

FM432e is an IoT LoRaWAN sensor for monitoring the electricity consumption (electric power) of all types of buildings. It is easy to install on the existing main electricity meter.

It connects to LoRaWAN communication networks so that the power curve can be collected at regular intervals (1-minute, 10-minutes, 15-mn or 1-hour time step (option to be selected)). The sensor consists of an optical reading head (to be installed on the existing main electricity meter) and a radio box (also including batteries).

Data can be decoded autonomously (payload format described) or sent to the Fludia server to be decoded and retrieved through an API.
