Automatic remote reading of existing meters

With LineMetrics, you can monitor electricity, gas and water meters automatically and continuously from a distance. This allows you to record your consumption automatically, to the exact date and without manual readings.

  • Remote reading
  • Simple reporting
  • Fast notifications

Over 300+ companies already count on LineMetrics

Numerous meters for electricity, gas and water are already installed in existing buildings – whether offices, residential complexes, hospitals or industry. Manual reading of these meters is time-consuming and prone to errors, which leads to outdated data and difficulties in cost planning.

Challenges

  • On-site meter reading is labor-intensive and error-prone
  • Selective data (e.g. once a year) is often no longer sufficient
  • No data for planning, billing or optimization
  • Heterogeneous meter landscape

A complete solution for easy retrofitting

Wireless sensors record current consumption values from existing meters. Gateways collect the measured values and transmit them via mobile radio. The data is clearly displayed in the LineMetrics Cloud and can be integrated into existing software solutions.

Verbrauch und Kontext

Electricity, gas, water & co. in one overall system

All consumption values – from different meters or even new measuring points – can be recorded and processed with one system.

Plug and Play

Retrofitting existing meters via plug & play

The existing, heterogeneous meter landscape can be retrofitted wirelessly and without interfering with the existing infrastructure.

Gesamtsystem

Long-range radio down to the basement

Measuring points scattered across the entire building or company premises can be read out without any problems – no comparison with WLAN.

LoRa Funk

Seamless data, almost in real time

The continuous recording of consumption data enables detailed analysis, optimization, performance monitoring and troubleshooting.

Which meters can be read (and how)?

Over the decades, an enormous number of different meters have been developed and many of them are still in use today. Reading this heterogeneous meter landscape with an overall system is a complex task: devices from countless manufacturers, different model series and types and with different outputs are installed.

LineMetrics has therefore created a comprehensive meter database. It covers around 90% of the current models and is constantly being expanded. At the touch of a button, it reveals which meter can be read in which way and with which sensor – the model designation or a photo of the meter is sufficient.

Read existing electricity meters

Up-to-date and detailed energy consumption enables accurate ancillary cost billing and internal cost allocation. They are also the basis for optimization and greater energy efficiency. LineMetrics can be used to read a wide variety of electricity meters wirelessly, for example these:

  • Siemens (7CA54)
  • Magpie (alpha A1500)
  • EMH (SymBase, LZQJ-XC)
  • hager (EHZ series)
  • ISKRA (MT830/MT831)
  • Landis+Gyr (ZMD series, E650, E750)
  • PAFAL (C8 series)


Read existing gas meters

Detailed data on gas consumption makes it particularly easy to allocate costs and charge them on to tenants, for example. LineMetrics can be used to read a wide variety of gas meters wirelessly, including the following:

  • Itron (ACD series, RF1 series)
  • Actaris (now Itron ACD)
  • Honeywell / Elster (BK-G series, IRM-3 DUO, RABO)

Read existing water meters

The automated and seamless recording of water consumption not only enables allocation and rebilling, but can also provide valuable information for optimizing consumption and detecting leaks and burst water pipes. LineMetrics can be used to read the following water meters, among others, wirelessly:

  • Actaris (HF10L)
  • Apator PoWoGaz (MWN series)
  • Bernhardt (BM series),
  • Honeywell / Elster (M100, C4000, H5000)
  • Itron (Aquadis+, Flostar)
  • Kamstrup (flowIQ)
  • Krohne (WATERFLUX)
  • Pipersberg (P.FOX, MNK series)
  • Zenner (MNK series, MTKD series)


Read existing heat/cooling meters

The exact recording of heating and cooling quantities creates transparency in the billing/allocation of energy costs. With LineMetrics, a wide variety of existing meters can be read wirelessly, including the following:

  • Siemens (UH50)
  • Kamstrup (MULTICAL series)
  • Landis+Gyr (ULTRAHEAT T550)

LoRa-based monitoring for remote reading offers the advantage of efficient, low-energy and long-range data transmission. It enables reliable monitoring and data acquisition even over long distances and in difficult environments, making it ideal for remote monitoring of energy and water consumption. This technology supports a cost-effective and scalable solution for optimizing the use of resources and improving operational processes.

LoRa technology uses a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) to transmit data over long distances with minimal energy consumption. This enables reliable and secure remote reading of meter readings for electricity, gas and water, even in environments where traditional networks reach their limits.

Companies benefit from precise and timely data collection, which enables detailed consumption analysis and cost control. Remote selection supports efficient operational processes, facilitates resource planning and promotes environmental responsibility by identifying potential savings. And the most important thing: you no longer have to go and read it yourself!

Thanks to its flexibility, the LoRa-based remote readout can be easily integrated into existing infrastructures. Building operators can continue to use their existing meters and add the remote reading function to their system, which is a cost-effective and scalable solution. The data can also either be analyzed in the LineMetrics Cloud or transferred to third-party systems.

Advanced encryption protocols are used for remote reading to ensure the security of the transmitted data. This protects against unauthorized access and ensures that only authorized users have access to sensitive consumption data.
