LoRa water meter
Description
The LoRa water meter is a high-precision, autonomous water meter that is suitable for both cold and hot water applications. This compact water meter is available in various models, including single-jet and multi-jet measuring capsules. It measures water volumes in the range from +0.1°C to +90°C and meets the requirements of the European Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) 2014/32/EU and the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML R49).
The LoRa water meter uses LoRaWan technology to transmit data via radio. Its digital display has a large, rotatable LCD display with eight digits and offers a clear, high-contrast display of the data. Thanks to a battery life of up to 5 years and a protection index of IP68, the LoRa water meter is both durable and reliable.
It is ideal for sub-metering, home automation and local and municipal water supply systems and enables precise recording and billing of individual water consumption. The recorded data is sent to the LineMetrics web app, where it is visualized and prepared for further analysis.

Tested for you: The best sensor on the market
This sensor has prevailed against comparable models in our test laboratory and has proven itself in practice.
Enorme Funkreichweite: Ganze Gebäude abdecken
Many kilometers of range outdoors or hundreds of meters indoors – no comparison with WiFi! More >
Battery-operated with up to 5 years runtime
LoRa radio is very energy efficient. Depending on the quality of the wireless connection, the batteries will last for many years.
Plug & Play integration into the overall system
It’s easy to obtain your first measurement data in just a few minutes thanks to the modular system – from the sensor to the cloud.
Your benefits with the LineMetrics platform
All-in-one: A complete system for room monitoring
1. Record water consumption
The battery-operated wireless sensor can be installed flexibly. It reliably records the values and transmits them via LoRa.
2. transmit measurement data
The LoRa wireless gateway creates a wireless network for up to 1,000 sensors. The collected measurement data is transmitted to the cloud via mobile radio.
3. evaluate and alert
All sensors are managed and all measurement data stored in the cloud. Analyses, alerts and data integration via API are easily possible.
What is behind it? Find out what LineMetrics can do to help you easily obtain the measurement data you need.
Developing and operating an IoT-based monitoring solution is more complex than many people think. Here is just a small excerpt of what LineMetrics can do for you in the background so that you can easily and reliably obtain the measurement data you need:
- Selection of international suppliers, supply chain management and price negotiations
- Selection and testing of individual hardware devices, hardware quality management
- Device and firmware management
- Optimizations in terms of radio range and battery life
- Database management
- Connectivity management (SIM cards)
- Security and encryption, including updates
- Creation of instructions and support during rollout
- 24/7 monitoring of the entire solution, support in the event of problems
Cloud platform: Analyze and process measured values
The LineMetrics Cloud allows you to create individual dashboards on which you can keep an eye on the data that is most important to you. Measured values can be displayed, combined and colored in the form of bars, curves, dial gauges, etc. This screenshot shows past and current measured values of the sensor:
Warning messages can be created for individual ranges/limit values and provided with a trigger delay. This means that no warning is sent if critical values are only briefly exceeded. A second condition for triggering a warning can also be configured.
Alerts can be sent by e-mail (see screenshot) or SMS. The recipient, subject and message can be easily configured individually.
Plug & play: obtain measurement data quickly and easily (< 3 minutes!)
The LineMetrics complete solution enables the solution to be commissioned via plug & play – without technicians, IT department, cable laying and network access. We will send you all the hardware with all accessories and simple commissioning instructions. The first measurement data can be analyzed in the LineMetrics Cloud within a few minutes. For questions, problems and tips, we have set up a comprehensive service center for you and can of course also be contacted personally at any time.

Enterprise-ready: The flexible and future-proof business solution
Strict quality criteria
Our quality requirements include not only certified hardware, but of course also the security of your data. LineMetrics therefore relies exclusively on highly encrypted communication and multiple redundant servers in high-security data centers in the DACH region.
Efficient roll-out
A fast and cost-effective roll-out is possible with employees on site, no matter how many locations, no matter where in Europe. Everything required for commissioning and operating the solution is included – right down to the SIM card with LTE data package.
Professional support
A competent contact for questions, whether it’s about sensors, wireless connections, databases or dashboards. In addition, the help center, knowledge base and support ticket system are available 24/7.
Simple integration (API)
Existing software and apps can continue to be used and automatically enriched with sensor data via API. This does not change existing processes and IT systems.
