CHESTER
wM-Bus

The configurable NB-IoT/LTE-M/LoRaWAN device for monitoring heat, gas, electricity, and water consumption in houses and apartments. Powered from mains or by battery with a battery lifespan up to 10 years.

The CHESTER wM-Bus catalog application uses a wireless gateway designed to communicate with energy meters using the Wireless M-Bus protocol and listens to configured wM-Bus T1 and C1 devices at precise intervals to aggregate received wM-Bus packets and transmit them over the NB-IoT/LTE-M network.

Battery-friendly wireless connectivity

The device transfers data over cellular networks (NB-IoT / LTE-M).

Configured wM-Bus sensors reading

CHESTER wM-Bus listens for configured wM-Bus T1 and C1 devices, aggregates the raw received packets and send them to cloud.

10+ years of battery lifespan

From two Saft LSH 20 cells (size D), the device can run for a long time with one reading per week.

Fast deployment and seamless integration

Use the HARDWARIO Manager iOS/Android app to set the device and integrate its data from HARDWARIO Cloud.

Typical use cases

Thanks to the inovative desing of CHESTER wM-Bus you wil be able to easily monitor gas, heat, electricity and water consumption in apartment buildings and homes.

In addition, CHESTER wM-Bus can also help to measure apartment building energy bills accurately and precisely.

To avoid any gas leaks or backflow of water, CHESTER wM-Bus will continuously monitor any anomalies and report them back.
