M-Bus Gateway

The smart-me M-Bus Gateway reads all energy meters with the M-Bus interface according to EN 13757-2, -3. Since it uses the existing WLAN network, no additional hardware needs to be installed. The meter data for the various energy sources (water, heat, gas, temperature) are transferred directly to the smart-me cloud and can be used in the smart-me energy management system.

Amount of data <= 1KB per device per readout

Configuration

Attention: It is absolutely essential that the devices are online before the tenants move in. This is the only way to evaluate the counter readings over the time axis.

Hardware installation steps:

The commissioning of the heat and water meters will be carried out by the supplier (e.g. Neovac, Ista, GWF, Techem etc.). These companies usually have their own M-Bus master connected in the technical room so that they can check whether the meters are arriving on the M-Bus.

Afterwards, a commissioning protocol is created and then our M-Bus gateway is reconnected.

With the documents, the respective meters can then be added to the correct user units on the smart-me cloud and the configuration can be completed.

The following information will be needed:

Important: The secondary address must be unique per smart-me account and the combination of the last 4 numbers must be unique to the account in case of heat/cold-combination counters. The easiest way is to use the device serial number.

Compatible Electric, Water, Heat and Gas Meters

The M-Bus Gateway reads over 1000 meter types from different manufacturers. Below you will find a non-exclusive list of compatible device manufacturers.

Note: Pay explicit attention to how the meter is declared. It can be declared as a heat meter, heat/cold meter, water meter or electricity meter. Combination meters that are not declared as heat/cold meters may not function properly in combination or may only function as heat meters.

M-Bus installation instructions

This is how the installation succeeds in no time at all

Caution: Do not apply voltage to the smart-me M-Bus gateway. The operating voltage may only be switched on by a smart-me partner.

Recommended combination of cable routing
We recommend dividing the routing of the bus lines into risers and stubs:

Regulations for cable and electrical installation
Generally, the SEV regulations apply. The bus cables should be as short as possible.

The following cable types are recommended:

Riser cable: TT2×1.5 mm2 (preferred), Maximum cable length = 1000 m
Stub cable: U72 1×4×0.8 mm2 (preferred), maximum cable length = 50 m

Note: All branch, connection and joint points must be sealable. Sealing is carried out by a smart-me partner.
