Smart energy monitoring for industrial and commercial applications
12 February 2020
Allowing customers to easily gather data for energy and carbon analysis is critical if they are to have any chance of meeting their reduction or regulatory targets, explains Elcomponent.

Good quality decisions require good quality data and in turn this is only achieved with quality and cost effective metering. The new Smappee monitor allows granular energy metering at cost levels lower than conventional products and adds data availability via APP, Web and API.
- Allows submetering of supplies previously considered too expensive
- Provides a cost effective solution for distribution board level monitoring
- Adaptable, easy to install and configure, suitable as a standalone system or as part of a larger energy management solution
Low-cost, quick installation - suitable for multi-site customers
Thanks to its quick and easy installation and low maintenance costs, Smappee Infinity’s total cost of ownership is said to compare favourably with other competing solutions.
Smappee CT Hub
The CT Hub is the main component of the monitoring system. You can connect up to 4 CTs or Rogowski coils to the CT Hub to measure different currents, ranging from 50 to 1000A. Daisy chain up to 7 CT Hubs to measure different installations, up to a distance of 100m (109 yards).
Power Box
The Power Box is the heart of the monitoring system as it provides power to all components. It measures the line voltage of the different connected phases and transfers the data via the Smappee Bus. The Power Box is compatible for direct communications to Elcomponent data collection systems.
Genius Gateway
The Genius is the gateway between the monitoring system and the Smappee Cloud, ensuring secure data storage from different components. The gateway can also provide control and additional communication options for special projects.
This comprehensive web based tool can be used for graphic and numerical analysis, to track data on a periodic basis (regular intervals: 5-minute, hourly, daily, monthly and yearly). Add the ‘Cards’ to visualise the data for each site according to your preference, easily compare results and export the required data as a .csv file, using the download button.
Mobile App
The Dashboard and App allow users to share data and devices and are suitable for centralised and local interrogation. The system comes with a 5 year data license, so on-going costs are low.
Smappee can also integrate with other systems directly via hardware or software API.
The expert installation team can deploy Smappee for SME sites where previously this was cost prohibitive. It allows larger sites to meter at much more granular level than ever before at a significantly lower cost.
Smappee is compatible with Elcomponent metering systems meaning you can combine technologies without the need for hardware or software upgrades.
