LoRaWAN and M-Bus Sensor Technology
Sensors record measured values and prepare them for downstream systems for further data processing. Energy management systems such as Efficio can access the recorded data for various analysis purposes. The sensor data can be used to initiate optimization measures.
Example applications for sensors:
- Electrical signals for automation technology (S0 pulses, analog signals 0 V DC to 10 V DC, 0 mA to 20 mA)
- Room climate (temperature, humidity, CO2 content, brightness)
- Presence detection (how much movement takes place in the room)
- Access control (door closing contact)
Indoor Temperature Humidity Sensor M-Bus
The measurement of temperature and humidity is the basis for improving energy efficiency and indoor climate. The temperature and humidity sensor enables the direct recording of indoor temperature and humidity via the M-Bus. The sensor can be connected, for example, via a two-wire connection directly to the Berg data logger BDL or LTE M-Bus Master. The power supply is provided via the M-Bus.
