Unlike most internet-enabled data loggers, the Wattmon does not only upload data to a cloud server but also stores it locally on an SD Card. The WattmonMEGA is capable of storing several years worth of data locally. However, it can also upload the logged data to the Wattmon Energy Monitoring Solution (EMS) which is a customizable cloud portal that displays real-time data in the form of graphs and widgets. Multiple devices are integrated into the EMS interface, providing for monitoring of large installations. Users can select the parameters they wish to monitor and create separate accounts for individual clients. Data can be downloaded in CSV format. |
