iOKE868 LoRaWAN® Smart Metering Kit

The ‘iOKE868 LoRaWAN® Smart Metering Kit’ leverages the long range and low power consumption of LoRa® to provide real-time data monitoring of energy consumption and secure connectivity to the LoRaWAN® IoT network. It is compatible with most modern smart meters (compliant with IEC62056-21 and SML messages).

The ‘iOKE868 LoRaWAN® Smart Metering Kit’ can be attached magnetically to the smart meter to read out the infrared interface, extract the desired values and transfer those to the LoRaWAN® network with a period defined by the user.

The external antenna provides a maximum flexibility during installation in difficult RF environments. A user-friendly configuration tool offers an easy way to change the radio, calendar and filter settings. These advantages result in a far more comprehensive and detailed feedback on energy consumption and enables a significant reduction of operational costs.

The product includes the following parts:

• iO881A optical reading head
• USB-cable for power supply (1.8 m)
• antenna (magnetic base) with 2.5 m cable.

The ‘iOKE868 LoRaWAN® Smart Metering Kit’ comes without any power supply, please choose between battery-holder and power-supply unit (USB), see accessories, if needed.

Note 1: The configuration can be managed Over-The-Air via LoRa® messages or via wired serial interface (Windows PC tool).
Note 2: In certain countries, i.e. Austria, the optical interface might be subject to an encryption according to "Smart Metering Requirements VO 2011". This feature is currently not supported by this product.
