Important! IoT energy meter

 

IoT energy meter (Internet of Things energy meter) is an energy measurement device based on Internet of Things technology, which can monitor and record the use of electric energy in real time. With the maturity and stability of IoT communication technology and the increase of IOT communication methods, the development of IoT energy meters provides more communication options and broader function expansion conditions. IOT communication method is the way of communication between IoT devices or between IoT devices and the Internet, IoT energy meters are widely used in home, commercial and industrial fields, providing users with more convenient, efficient and safe power services.

各种物联网通信方式各有特点和优势，适合不同的应用场景。物联网电表中常用的通信方式有Wi-Fi、蓝牙、ZigBee、LoRa、WiFine、PLC、NB-IoT、GPRS等。在通信可靠性要求比较高的场景中，会同时使用两种通信方式，以实现容错。

1、Wi-Fi通讯物 联网电表：基于无线局域网技术，具有高速稳定的数据传输能力。使用时会受到家庭Wi-Fi信号的限制。目前在电能表二级市场应用相对较多。。

2、蓝牙通讯物 联网电表：低功耗、短距离无线通讯技术，多用于电能表与室内显示屏之间的数据传输。在室内显示屏上查看用电数据更加方便、实时。

3、ZigBee通信物 联网电表：一种低速、低功耗的无线通信协议，是 物联网电能表的局域网通信方式。ZigBee 穿墙能力较弱，目前在电能表上应用较少。

4. LoRa communication IoT power meter: a long-distance, low-power wireless communication protocol, which is a mode of LAN communication of IoT power meter.There are certain applications in energy meters.

5. PLC communication IoT power meter: a way to use power lines for data transmission, which will not be affected by the installation environment, and is widely used in electric energy meters.

6, NB-IoT communication IoT power meter: a narrowband Internet of Things technology, with low power consumption, low cost, wide area coverage and other advantages, with the development of CAT1 communication, NB-IoT in the field of energy meter gradually reduced.

7, GPRS (4G\5G): a high-speed, low-latency, high-reliability mobile communication technology, suitable for communication between IoT devices and the Internet, will have a huge impact on the future development of Internet of Things applications. It is used in three-phase energy meters and centralized controllers, and the utilization rate is increasing as the module price and tariff price decrease.

IoT electricity meter realizes real-time monitoring and data acquisition of energy meter measurement data and meter status data, and sends commands to set parameters and remote control in real time. Improve the quality of power consumption management through data acquisition analysis and remote control and control, optimize power consumption schemes, and achieve energy saving and consumption reduction. The remote monitoring and management of IoT electricity meters avoids human error and unnecessary human resource investment, and reduces costs. Realize data-based, intelligent and automated services, improve user experience, improve user satisfaction, bring new business models and business opportunities to the industry, and promote innovation and development.
