Voltaware Sensors

Quick to Deploy, Appliance-Level Insights at Scale

Simple to install. Built for fleet roll-outs. Trusted by households and utilities.
Clamp-on Voltaware sensor installed neatly in a UK fuse box.

Clamp-on electricity sensors that capture home energy usage and turn it into appliance-level insights - without rewiring.

Connect via Wi-Fi for home broadband, or choose an optional GSM variant for hard-to-reach sites and pilot programmes.

What Makes Our Hardware Different

Ultra-slim, credit-card sized

Sits neatly in the fuse box. One sensor per home covers the whole property.

Voltaware sensor next to a standard credit card for size comparison.

High-resolution signal capture

Samples voltage and current 10,000+ times per second, enabling major appliance detection and richer insights.

High-resolution waveform with segments labelled EV, washing machine, fridge and cooker - 10,000+ samples/sec.

Plug & play, non-intrusive

Clamp on the mains cable; magnetic probes sample voltage on the breaker. No rewiring. Typical install in under 5 minutes.

Installer attaching magnetic voltage probes to the breaker; clamp on mains cable - no rewiring.

Future-proof by default

Fleet-wide OTA updates to firmware, AI classifiers, and security let you switch between near-real-time and periodic uploads, roll out features in stages, and keep programmes evolving - no engineer visits, no hardware swaps.

Cloud sending OTA updates to multiple sensors with cadence slider from real-time to periodic; Firmware/AI/Security badges.

Patented magnetic connectors

Our globally patented design improves reliability and installation speed, providing durable advantages in the field.

Why Utilities Run Voltaware Pilots

  • Rapid deployment at scale

    5-minute, non-intrusive installs minimise truck-roll time and friction.

  • Engagement that sticks

    Appliance-level insights drive measurable reductions in avoidable usage.

  • Targeting & evaluation

    Identify high-impact cohorts (e.g., high standby, immersion heaters, EV) and quantify savings.

  • Flexible data delivery

    Use Voltaware dashboards or pipe insights into your portals via APIs.

  • Works with or without smart meters

    Add depth where smart - meter data exists; provide insights where it doesn’t.

What Residents See (Customer Value)

  • Clear bill breakdowns

    Understand where electricity spend goes (heating, cooking, laundry, EV, etc.).

  • Standby alerts

    Spot “always-on” loads and their yearly cost.

  • Weekly reports & tips

    Personalised, practical ways to cut waste.

  • Peace of mind

    Optional safety-related signals and unusual-usage nudges.

  • No habit change required

    Insights arrive automatically; act when you’re ready.

How the Hardware Works
(at a glance)

01

Clamp-on sensor

attaches around the mains feed in the consumer unit.

02

Gateway connection

via Wi-Fi or GSM sends encrypted signals to Voltaware’s platform.
