M-Bus metering made simple

One Metbox Pro reads up to 150 meters on the bus.

The pair of wires is already in the riser. The gateway asks every meter on it in turn, water, heat, gas, electricity: and each answer goes straight to the platform.

    Every payload decoded

    Each supported model has a driver of its own, so a meter on the bus reports in cubic metres and kilowatt hours rather than as a register dump.

  • Meter register

    Bus addresses, serial numbers, the flat a meter belongs to and its verification date in one place, so a building stays documented.

  • Analytics online

    Consumption by hour, day or month for a meter, a flat or the whole building, with periods you can compare in the browser.

  • Alerts

    Burst, leakage, tamper, backflow and meters that go quiet: flagged as it happens and sent to whoever needs to know.

  • Reports and billing

    Consumption reports and billing exports on a schedule, as files or through the API into the system you invoice from.

What goes at the end of the bus.

One box holds the whole building. The second is for the meters the cable never reached.

  • Metbox ProWired gateway

    Metbox Pro

    Up to 150 M-Bus meters on one pair of wires, polled by address, with Modbus and RS-485 devices on the same box. It reaches the platform over 4G, so the building needs no network of its own.

  • Radio gateway

    Metbox wM-Bus 230V

    For the flats the riser never reached: it hears every wireless meter around it, whatever the brand, and reports into the same platform as the bus.

Why wired M-Bus?

  • The cable is already there

    Most blocks built or refurbished with heat meters have the pair in the riser.

  • Nothing to plan

    No coverage to check, no dead cellar, no radio to answer for.

  • No batteries

    Meters take their power from the bus, so nothing runs out mid-winter.

  • Cheapest per meter

    One box for a hundred and fifty of them, and no radio module to buy.

  • Any make on one bus

    It is a standard, so meters from different makers share the same pair.

  • No lock-in

    EN 13757 at one end, an open API at the other. Nothing between them is ours.

Wires, either way round

The meters we already read.

Every model here has been tested in our office and has a driver of its own, so it arrives on the bus reporting rather than waiting for someone to write it a mapping.
