FM232e – IoT electricity consumption sensor (Local LoRa)

IoT LoRa sensor for electricity consumption monitoring with a 15-minutes 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).

The sensor only transmits messages to an F-Link micro-bridge (to be purchased separately). Up to 10 sensors can be registered on a single F-Link. Data is forwarded by the F-Link to Fludia data collect server where they can be retrieved through an API (or consulted and downloaded manually from the dashboard).

• Universal: compatible with all electricity meters (with blinking LED or rotating disk)
• Plug & Play: easy and quick to install, no electric contact 
• Accurate: power load curve in Watts, 15-minute time step
• Designed and manufactured in France

Technical characteristics:

• Optical reading head compatible with electronic electricity meters (with a blinking LED) and electromechanical electricity meters (traditional meters with rotating disk)
• LoRa radio – 868MHz – Specific Local LoRa point to point protocol compatible with F-Link micro-bridge
• 15-minutes option: data message every 2 hours, including eight 15-minutes successive values
• Data decoding and storage included for 3 years (Fludia data collect server)
• Supervision dashboard access included for 3 years (sensor fleet visualization, communication/data quality monitoring)
• Data collection API included for 3 years
• After the first three years, possible to switch to a completely autonomous mode (i.e. bypass Fludia data collect server)
• Battery: 2 replaceable Lithium 3.6V batteries
  
  • Lifetime for electronic meters: 9 years for 15-minute option
  • Lifetime for electromechanical meters: 5 years for 15-minute option
