- Energy monitoring device provides minute-by-minute energy consumption data
- Self-powered and easy to install without the need for external batteries or wires
- Communicates over long distances via LoRaWAN IoT protocol for real-time data transmission
- Secure data transmission with dual-cipher encryption
The Vutility HotDrop can provide minute-by-minute data to improve energy consumption data thanks to its easy-to-scale, simple-to-install sub-meter capabilities. The HotDrop incorporates several patented and proprietary technologies that allow it to charge itself inductively on the wire it measures without external batteries or wires.
The non-invasive design of the HotDrop allows it to be installed safely and instantly without de-energizing a facility, resulting in significant cost savings and scoping simplicity in a flash.
The HotDrop can communicate out of electrical distribution panels through multiple stories of commercial and industrial building materials while maintaining wireless, minute-by-minute transmissions to the cloud, thanks to LoRaWAN’s global IoT standards.
