Remote electricity reading

E-Spectro reads electricity meters through the optical IR interface without installation intervention. It sends 15-minute data via LoRaWAN into the Sensorly cloud.

How E-Spectro reads electricity meter data

The meter communicates through its optical interface. E-Spectro reads the meter registers with the attached IR head, sends them to our system, and makes them available 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

E-Spectro for IR electricity meter readings

The set combines a communication unit with an antenna and a magnetic optical head. The head attaches to the meter IR port, the unit reads available OBIS values, and sends them to the Sensorly cloud.

No meter intervention

Installation does not require power interruption or seal removal. The sensor only reads the data made available by the meter optically.

IR readings and OBIS values

We support IEC 62056-21 and DLMS/COSEM. Depending on the meter, you typically get energy registers, tariffs, power, voltage, current, power factor, and frequency.

Data in Sensorly cloud

Readings in 15-minute intervals are sent via LoRaWAN into the cloud, ready for dashboards, alarms, exports, and API access.

01

Electricity meter

The meter exposes available registers through its optical IR port.

02

IR head

The magnetic E-Spectro head aligns with the port and reads data without mechanical intervention.

03

E-Spectro

The unit processes the readout, adds communication status, and prepares the data for transmission.

04

Sensorly cloud

LoRaWAN transfer stores values in the portal, where they can be monitored, exported, and connected through the API.
