Implementation of Remote Residential-Electric-Meter Reading System Using LoRa

Abstract

In this paper, the authors introduce an IoT system related to remoteresidential-electric-meter reading based on Long Range (LoRa). This system combines LoRa devices with an electrical measurement sensor to acquire information about voltage, current, and electric capacity among other parameters. This remote wireless electrical-measurement system based on LoRa resolves the shortcomings and reduces the labor cost of the traditional electric-meter-reading system. The design of the hardware, structure of the entire system, network mode for connection between an end node and the server, and a data-visualization interface are introduced herein.
