A Metbox wM-Bus gateway

  • Plug and play decoding

    Every supported model has its own driver, T, C and S modes are all read, and AES keys are held and applied for you. A meter in range starts reporting.

  • Meter register

    Serial numbers, encryption keys, parameters and verification dates in one place, so a growing fleet stays documented.

  • Analytics online

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

  • Alerts

    Leaks, backflow, tampering, low battery and meters that go quiet, flagged as they are reported 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.

  • Fixed · Mains powered

    Mounted once in a technical room or riser and left to run. It listens continuously and sends readings on over 4G, so nothing is missed between visits.

  • Fixed · Battery powered

    No wiring and no power supply. Place it anywhere within radio range of the meters. One battery lasts more than ten years, so there is nothing to service.

Why Wireless M-Bus?

  • Every meter, any brand

    A wM-Bus radio is built into nearly every meter sold in Europe.

  • Ten years on one battery

    A reading is a short radio burst, and that is all the power it costs.

  • The cheapest radio

    Where a meter offers a choice of radios, wM-Bus is the lowest priced.

  • Nothing to plan

    No base stations, no network design, no SIM card per meter.

  • No lock-in

    Open standard. Change provider without touching a meter.

  • Works without power

    Battery gateways cover risers and substations with no socket.

Walk-by is not remote reading.

Someone still has to be there. Leave one gateway on site instead and the building reports itself.

Want a reading on the spot anyway? The wM-Bus dongle puts what you collect into the same platform, with nothing to merge afterwards.
