Monitor Energy Resources with IoT
Control energy resources and create smarter distribution while keeping track of users' consumption. With IoT solution deployed, it allows customers to detect and predict high consumption, leakages and achieve better energy stability throughout the system.
Smart meters are providing better insights and two-way communication on who is using what and when. You can also obtain energy usage with real-time data using sensors and inserted Infobip connectivity IoT cards.
Process Workflow
PREREQUISITES
A SIM card ordered, received, and inserted into device with active data traffic. For new customers - please reach out to your dedicated Account Manager to discuss your demand of SIM cards in terms of the use case, data consumption demands, type of connectivity and to open your account to have access to API. For existing customers (with Infobip account)we offer the ability to order SIM cards on your own via Infobip web interface.
IMPLEMENTATION STEPS
Steps over API
-
Use automated ordering process over API or contact your Account Manager to order a desired number of SIMs in a specified format, set the data limits, and specify the order delivery address.
-
Activate the SIM card via the Activation IoT API.
Request example:
PUT /iot/2/sims/8981100022152967721/status
{
"status": "Active/Suspended"
}
Response example:
200 OK
{
"actionId": "f597d319-de5c-4524-9378-e95478b58dad"
}
-
Insert the SIM card into the camera and start using it.
-
Check the data usage for the SIM card for the current month. You will receive an alert that the monthly data usage limit has been reached.
Request example:
GET /iot/2/sims/8981100022152967721/usage
Response example:
{
"iccid": "8981100022152967721",
"receivedSmsCount": null,
"sentSmsCount": null,
"usedDataBytes": 27199488,
"receivedCallsCount": null,
"sentCallsCount": null
}
-
Analyze the amount of data sent to the server. If the energy consumption is exceeding the preferable parameters predict the energy for the following month for the predefined group of users who are using a specific plant.
-
Use Infobip SMS API to send the command to the smart meter which will trigger the data flow in the exact moment that you prefer.
Request example:
POST /iot/1/sims/8981100022152967721/sms
{ "text": "This is an example of SMS message text."}
Response example:
200 OK
