Electric Sub Metering WiFi System
The Log-Alert WiFi electric metering system connects to an electric pulse meter and sends the data to our online cloud system. The purchaser receives an easy to use custom web dashboard where the electric kWh data is shown via a continuous over time line chart and a second selectable timeframe bar graph. The meter data can also be downloaded to an excel format file via electable time frames. Adjustable alerts can be sent via email or text to the user(s) for electric use that get out of range. There is no cost for the web dashboard service.
The WiFi electric metering system comes with a 6 foot pulse cable which cannot be extended with an extension cable. An extension can cause erroneous data and possibly brown out the system.
A rechargeable lithium battery option is available but due to the large power demands of WiFi we recommend an electric version unless you have no electric power available. The system includes a power cord that when plugged in recharges the battery. If you choose the battery option the system will come programmed to be in a sleep mode (but still counting pulses) and waking up once a day to send the data via WiFi. In this mode the rechargeable lithium battery system typically last 1 to 1.5 years. If you prefer the system to wake up and report more or less than once a day and can be configured during the initial WiFi connection setup.
Our WiFi system requires a pulse emitting electric meter. We offer a single and three phase meter that include clampable CTs. Within the meter kit we also include for each CT a fuse wire so our system can verify the voltage. Simply connect the 2 wires from our WiFi system to the electric pulse meter, clip the CT(s) around the electric power wires, attach the voltage wire(s) and presto your monitoring kWh.
A user can easily link the Log-Alert system to their WiFi network by typing in the network's name and password via a smart phone (no app required). A web dashboard login page, username and password will be emailed to the customer following a purchase. The user simply inputs their supplied username/password via our dashboard log-in page to access their custom web dashboard... no filling out online forms or an app to download and configure.
Worried about security issues with your network? Our system only sends out data and it does not utilize an operating system. Consequently our system is less vulnerable to network attacks than other IOT devices currently on the market.
