The Qubino Smart Meter is an extremely versatile and powerful Z-Wave module for measuring energy in a single-phase electrical power network of up to 65A. A built-in microprocessor calculates e reactive energy, the power and the power factor with the measured signals. The Smart Meter is designed that it can be mounted on a DIN rail.
The Qubino Smart Meter can be used in residential, industrial and utility applications. It permanently measures the current and the current voltage directly in an AC circuit. It calculates the current and the total power, the power factor PHI and the reactive energy currently consumed. It also acts as a repeater in order to improve the range and stability of the Z-Wave network. The control via Z-Wave makes it possible to control separately available relays and to evaluate the measurement results of devices.
Z-Wave Plus™ is a new step within the Z-Wave certification process, designed to help consumers identify products that take advantage of the recently introduced 'GEN5' Z-Wave hardware platform, also known as 500 Series or 5th Generation Z-Wave. Z-Wave Plus certified solutions feature a selected set of extended features and capabilities that enhance the end user experience and make Z-Wave installations even faster and easier to install and set up.
Z-Wave has led the market in interoperable smart devices for the home since the first Z-Wave product was certified in 2004. With the introduction of the GEN5, Z-Wave 500 series hardware platforms, Z-Wave saw its ecosystem bolstered with new capabilities – including increased range, extended battery life, Over-The-Air upgrading (OTA), additional RF channels and more.
Products with Z-Wave Plus™ are fully backwards compatible with existing Z-Wave products!
For consumers, homeowners, integrators and service providers, these enhancements offer tremendous benefits in terms of faster and easier installations, more extensive device profiles, improved self-healing and longer battery life. With the new Z-Wave Plus certification program, the Z-Wave Alliance is introducing a series of packaging logos that will be located on every Z-Wave Plus™ certified product, informing the consumer this product incorporates the enhanced capabilities of the Z-Wave 500 series.
