JLanka introduces latest innovation:

Smart metre to monitor electricity consumption

JLanka Technologies, a company which specialises in residential solar power electrification, introduced its latest innovation - e Pro1000, a smart meter device, which helps every home and office to monitor and manage electricity consumption and all other electricity parameters.

Have you ever imagined how much you're spending on electricity in your home or at your office or your company? Imagine if you could see how much you're using and spending on energy on each equipment online and in your home, at your office or your company.

"Smart monitoring systems are a new version of the electricity metre that records your household or enterprise energy use," Research and Development Consultant, Jlanka Technologies, Nalin Karunasinghe said.

He said that the smart metres are 'smart' because they provide information about the energy you use directly each minute, without anyone having to read the metre, which means no more estimated bills. It would also help people better understand consumption and will provide the platform for time of use tariff and smart grid concept.

He said that the smart metre converts your home or office to a smart home or smart office as the technology develops.

The ePro1000 smart metre is an 'Internet of Things' product, related to electricity.

e-Pro 1000 is not a conventional monitoring device which monitors electrical power, electrical energy, current, voltage, power factor and frequency but compares and differentiates loads at the same time.Officials of JLanka Technologies said that monitoring is done through a web-based monitoring portal, which has a secured data protection system.

The device connects to multiple devices and electricity usage of individual devices can be monitored separately which helps to take informed decisions.

Smart meter and monitoring technology introduced by e-pro1000 allows consumers to remotely switch on and off air conditioners, refrigerators, light bulbs or any other appliance while observing its electricity usage. Industrial engineers too could use it to control demand intelligently.
