The Voltaware platform works with either smart meters or the Voltaware sensor to build features into the utility’s customer-facing application. Through a combination of flexible APIs, you can choose to integrate selected features in your front-end services.
Deeper integration is also possible, Voltaware services can be integrated directly into your back-end services. Voltaware services can be offered to your customers using data collected from either:
Voltaware Cloud Platform offers an HTTP API and Data Queues for you to build your services on it.
Voltaware's sensor constantly samples voltage and current signals of the mainline at high frequency. Every time an appliance is switched on or off, the sensor collects different data points related to that particular event and this is transmitted to the Cloud Platform.
The Cloud Platform collects all the data coming from the sensor and processes the readings using Machine Learning techniques. Analytics are computed and made available to the APIs in real-time.
It's a RESTFul API where you must query the API via an HTTP client library. It can be used to integrate our data into a client-facing mobile application or a web application, and you can even integrate it directly with your back-end services. It provides information about breakdown data for cost and consumption by period, allowing to set up an energy tariff and other account configurations.
It's a push-based, publish/subscribe protocol. Once you subscribe to a queue, you will receive events from your designated sensors - you will get an event every time the sensor detects an ON or OFF on any appliance connected to the wire. It is suitable to develop back-end event-driven services requiring a larger degree of flexibility for what you can build additionally.
To integrate your smart meter data to the Voltaware Cloud Platform, you must first implement our Data Ingestion API.
Once data ingestion is in place, these will be available:
