The mIoT Captis Multi device on a water meter is used to monitor water usage by connecting to sensors such as a Pulse T Probe. It collects data for measurement and reporting purposes. If you move into a new house, whether the device should remain installed depends on ownership. If it belongs to the utility provider, it should stay. If it was personally installed, you may remove it if no agreements require leaving it behind.
