Product description Overview YO Meter Reader 2.0 is a LoRaWAN device for reading data from a dedicated LED pulse detector. The sensor enables remote reading of e.g. electricity or water consumption by reading LED pulses on energy, water meters. In addition, the YO Meter Reader 2.0 has built-in temperature and humidity sensors.

YO Meter Reader 2.0 User guide v1.0 page 9/28 Periodic counter counts pulses cyclically with time interval defined by LoRa sending interval. The periodic counter counts the pulses within the time interval specified by the measurement interval parameter which also specifies the time at which a LoRaWAN data payload is sent.
YO Meter Reader 2.0 User guide v1.0 page 10/28 Temperature and relative humidity Temperature and relative humidity are measured by sensors placed inside the device enclosure. These measurements can be used to monitor if the device is working in recommended conditions.
