Description
LoRaWAN® energy management systems monitor energy usage in real-time. Our Energy Monitoring PoC kit is the perfect way to test out the LoRaWAN® technology on a small scale. These products are ready to plug-and-play straight from the box for simple installation. Get started today and begin remotely monitoring your energy consumption and discover if this energy management system will work for you.
Our Energy Monitoring PoC kits allow you to measure:
- Overall energy consumption
- Energy efficiency of individual supplies
- Abnormal usage (which may help you to identify a fault)
The Energy Monitoring PoC kit is compatible with either single-phase and three-phase networks. The sensors in this LoRaWAN® starter pack can be retrofitted, with the small devices attaching to your cabling.

Energy monitoring can be a great first step to incorporating IoT into your building management or manufacturing business. We have a variety of options for monitoring utilities remotely; including electricity, gas and water.
Why Choose a LoRaWAN Energy Management System?
LoRaWAN technology has been around for a little while now. We think it’s perfect for internet of things (IoT) applications.
In a nutshell, LoRaWAN® uses radio waves to transmit small packets of data across a wireless network. You need sensors to record the data and gateways to receive the data, before it’s sent on to the server. A detailed description of how it works can be found here, but everything you need to get started is in this kit!
The key benefits of using LoRaWAN® technology for energy management are:
- Long Range. LoRaWAN sensors can transmit information to gateways up to 10 km away. In an urban setting we’d expect this to be more like 3 km, but it depends on the environment.
- Affordable. Data transfer between sensor and gateway uses radio waves, so this is essentially free. The devices themselves are competitively priced and offer a wide range of functionality.
- Low Power. Our sensors are battery powered, but you can expect ultra-long battery life. There are a number of ways we can maximise battery life. This means low maintenance too!
- Secure. The data sent across your LoRaWAN® network is encrypted and secure. Most LoRaWAN® networks use two levels of security; device security (to ensure that the correct device is connected to the network) and network security (to encrypt end-user data).
