Slimme bidirectionele energiemeter Avatto ZWPM16-2 ZigBee — energiebewaking voor verbruik en opwekking

Avatto ZWPM16-2 is a ZigBee smart bi-directional energy meter designed for residential and small commercial installations to monitor both electrical consumption and generation. The device records imported and exported energy in separate registers, enabling accurate tracking of solar PV feed-in, battery discharge/charge flows and conventional grid usage. Compatible with ZigBee home automation networks, the ZWPM16-2 provides live and historical metering data for energy analysis and integration with ZigBee-enabled controllers and gateways.

Advantages

The Avatto ZWPM16-2 supports true bi-directional metering to distinguish between energy import and export, improving the accuracy of consumption reports and generation credits. Its ZigBee connectivity allows wireless integration into existing ZigBee mesh networks without requiring additional wiring for data. The meter is engineered for compact installation on DIN rail panels and provides stable measurement suitable for monitoring photovoltaic systems, energy storage inverters and general household loads. Data compatibility with ZigBee smart home controllers simplifies automation scenarios and energy-based triggers.

Suitable for

• Monitoring residential solar PV systems and tracking exported energy to the grid
• Measuring household consumption for energy management and billing verification
• Integrating with ZigBee home automation and energy management platforms
• Tracking battery charge/discharge flows in small energy storage setups

How to use

Install the Avatto ZWPM16-2 on a DIN rail inside the distribution board according to local electrical regulations and wiring standards. Connect the meter to the load, generation source and grid lines following the wiring diagram supplied by the manufacturer; ensure correct phase and neutral connections for accurate measurement. Pair the device with a ZigBee gateway or controller using the gateway’s device-join procedure. After successful pairing, configure measurement registers and reporting intervals in the ZigBee controller or compatible energy management software to collect live and historical energy data.

Recommendations

Place the meter in an accessible location inside the panel for service and reading. Verify compatibility of the ZigBee gateway and set appropriate reporting intervals to balance data granularity with network traffic. Observe local safety standards and disconnect power before wiring. For solar or battery systems, confirm directionality of CTs or wiring to ensure exported energy is recorded correctly.
