A smart water meter is a compact sealed digital device that measures and wirelessly sends water usage data. It keeps the inline pipe-mounted shape of traditional meters, with added electronic components. Its core features are listed below:
1.Housing
Made of brass, stainless steel or reinforced plastic, with IP68 waterproof rating. Fits standard residential pipe diameters (15–50mm), suitable for underground or outdoor installation.
2.Communication Unit
Built-in or low-profile external module supporting LoRaWAN, NB-IoT or Wireless M-Bus. Some have a small stub antenna; internal-antenna models keep a fully sealed surface.
3.Pipe Connections
Threaded or flanged inlet/outlet ports match standard plumbing. A flow-direction arrow indicates correct installation direction.
4.Battery Compartment
Watertight screw-fastened bay holds a long-life lithium battery (over 10 years), no external power required.
In short, it retains the basic inline form of mechanical meters, with integrated digital and wireless parts inside a durable weatherproof casing.
