Understanding the Cloud Connection
Overview
Before you can use your Smappee Gas & Water Monitor you need to connect it to the Internet
and the Smappee cloud. You can do this in two ways:
Radio Signal via your Smappee Energy meter
Bluetooth via the Smappee App on your Smartphone or Tablet
You can choose the method of connection during the installation process in the application.
Radio Signal
If you configure this connection method, your Gas & Water Monitor will send its data directly to
the Smappee Energy. The data is then sent from the Smappee Energy to the Smappee Cloud,
which stores all data securely.
The Radio Signal works on the 433.92 MHz frequency and has a range of 20-30m within a clear
line of sight. Range may differ depending on the situation.
advantage is that you will receive live data whenever Water or Gas is
consumed and a warning if Smappee suspects a leak.
Note: The configuration of the sensors and further settings will still be done via Bluetooth.
Bluetooth
If you use this connection method, the data of your Gas & Water Monitor will be collected over a
Bluetooth connection. In that case, your smartphone (iOS or Android) receives the data from the
Gas & Water Monitor and sends it to the Smappee cloud.
Important limitation: In the Bluetooth mode, you can connect only ONE Gas & Water
Monitor per service location.
Bluetooth on iOS devices
On iOS devices, the data will automatically be collected when Bluetooth is turned on and the
device is within Bluetooth range of the Smappee Gas & Water Monitor.
Bluetooth on Android devices
For Android devices, to collect the consumption data, you will have to get within Bluetooth
range of your Smappee Gas and Water monitor with the Application running on the Main Screen
