Remote electricity reading

IR probe (IEC 62056-21, Class C) reads the meter without intervention. Data every 15 minutes via LoRaWAN into Sensorly cloud.

How remote electricity readings work

The meter communicates through its optical interface. The IR probe reads the data, transfers it to our system, and you access it in the portal.

What we install on site

  • An IR probe with magnetic attachment to the meter optical head
  • Communication unit for LoRaWAN only
  • We perform IR probe reading only (Class C) in line with Czech law

What you gain in operation

  • Regular readings without physical visits
  • Data quality checks and immediate outage alerts
  • Consumption history and analytics for optimization
  • Exports for accounting and billing systems
