Overview
The
Lobaro Wireless M-Bus Gateway
data from up to 500 Wireless M-Bus enabled devices, like water meters, electricity meters, heat meters onto the Internet.
The gateway collects data from all metering device conforming to the 868 MHz Wireless M-Bus standard (EN 13757-4) or uses
power short range FSK radio modulation to broadcast consumption data. Their wireless range is typically only about 50m with this traditional technology.
The
Lobaro Wireless M-Bus Gateway extends this range by
(Narrowband IoT) onto the Internet. Alternatively an additional upload path via LoRaWAN networks is available. This unique feature of combining to
LPWAN technologies in a single device might be used as a fallback if yet no modern NB-IoT network is available at the place of deployment.
Metering data is send to the Lobaro Platform, were it gets parsed, displayed and made available for further processing. Because most Wireless M-Bus
telegrams are encrypted, the Platform allows adding decryption keys for individual meters, so that the data can be decrypted by the Platform. It is also
possible to use the
Lobaro Wireless M-Bus Gateway
wMBus telegrams.
LoRaWAN® is a mark used under license from the LoRa Alliance®.
V2 is a simple to use, cost and energy efficient device that receives, caches and forwards metering consumption
collecting the short range data and then uploads it using modern cellular IoT networks
without the Platform and connect it to your own backend, if it is capable of parsing and decrypting

- Page 7 – Log in with the credentials provided by Lobaro. Your Gateways should be listed under "Devices". If you have multiple devices in your account, you can distinguish them by the field "Address". The Address is printed on the box of the Gateway (the Address is the IMEI of the modem used by the device; that is the unique hardware address used for mobile communication).
- Page 8 Forwarding data to your own system If you want the received data inside your own system, you can add an Integration inside the Lobaro Platform that forwards all data to your system. We currently supply a REST API that allows you to query data from our platform actively, as well as a HTTP(S) integration, that pushes incoming data to your system when it is received.
- Page 9 Instead of using the Lobaro Platform, you can use the Lobaro Config Adapter and the Config Tool to change the Configuration directly in your hardware. This can be useful when you want to change configuration while the mobile connection does not work (or if you do not want to use the Lobaro Platform).
