The remote reading device connects to a water meter or other measuring device and, at set intervals, records and transmits the measured values to the CloudFM system. Data is transmitted wirelessly, for example via GSM/GPRS or NB-IoT.
By default, readings are transmitted once a day, but the interval can also be set to weekly or monthly. Exceptional events, such as a detected water leak, can be transmitted immediately upon detection. Battery power enables long-term operation without the need for a connection to the electrical grid.
