The Jooby brand manufactures smart devices for metering different types of resources. In this article, we will detail the various types of Jooby smart devices, their capabilities, and compatible meter models.
Jooby is a European manufacturer of smart devices for remote metering. With a growing reputation in the sector, Jooby devices for water, gas, and electricity meters enable resource providers and utility management companies to easily move to smart metering without large investments. It’s important to note that in order to implement the solution, it’s not necessary to replace all outdated meter models. Instead, miniature devices are installed on the subscribers’ meters which take readings at a preset time and transfer them to the software.
Smart metering implementation requires a set of measures from providers, so Jooby offers customers both individual units and a complete turnkey solution.
Smart devices are one of the most important components of a remote metering system, and are equipped with software and hardware that allows them to automatically capture and transmit data.
Sensors are devices that are connected to the meters and record various physical parameters: pressure, position of mechanism parts, or the presence of an electromagnetic field. Sensors use different technologies to record meter readings. For example, in water meters, they will capture the number of impeller revolutions, which is then used to calculate the number of consumed cubic meters of water.
Radio modules are sensor-equipped smart devices built into or connected to meters. Radio modules record various data: meter readings, water flow direction, violation of housing integrity etc. If the status of this data changes, the information is transmitted to the resource provider or utility company.
Smart meters are devices equipped with built-in radio modules that automatically transmit data.
Gateways are devices that receive data from radio modules and smart meters, then process and transmit it to the server via the LoRaWAN wireless network. Depending on the functionality, each gateway can receive data from a different number of end devices — usually gateways can be configured to receive data from dozens of devices.
Jooby manufactures all of these types of devices and below we explain more about Jooby device compatibility with meter brands.
The product line offers a number of water metering devices.
Ultrasonic water meters (JOOBY JWM4-130P-LRIR / JWM6,3-150P-LRIR / JWM2,5-110P-LRIR) are cold and hot water meters that utilize ultrasonic technology to capture readings. Jooby water meters automatically transmit readings via the LoRaWAN network.
Jooby sensors compatible with water meters:
Jooby radio modules compatible with Elster for gas:
Jooby radio modules compatible with Metrix for gas:
Smart radio module for Samgas meter:
In addition to devices compatible with specific meter models, Jooby produces JOOBY OMNI RM 4PU 201 EU / 204 EU models that different resource meters from different brands can be connected to using sensors. These radio modules allow the connection of several meters, which ensures their heat, gas, water, and electricity meter compatibility (up to 4 different meters can be connected in total).
Jooby also offers smart electricity meters with integrated radio modules: JOOBY ELECTRA MTX1 and JOOBY ELECTRA MTX3. The meters automatically transmit readings, as well as having an alert on attempts to open the housing or affect their operation with a magnet. The meters’ functionality allows electricity providers to both remotely shut off electricity to non-payers, and restore service to them after they have made payment.
If you can’t find the right device for your requirements among the listed models, Jooby experts can produce custom-made smart metering devices for you. Please fill out the feedback form on the website and our manager will contact you to clarify the details. Custom-made Jooby sensors will meet all specifications and be compatible with the right meter models. This will allow you to implement smart resource accounting quickly with only a small investment.
Jooby provides solutions for any meter type based on smart metering technologies. Jooby device features — including smart meters, radio modules for analog meters, sensors and gateways — can greatly simplify, quicken and optimize data collection. Jooby also accepts orders for manufacturing unique devices for any type of meter. The ability to choose individual Jooby sensor specifications allows providers and utilities to quickly integrate smart metering solutions into projects with any type of metering device.
