I am planning on installing water submeter on my apartment units. I had used NextCentury before (12 units) but I also know Metron is another option. Has anyone used Metron before? I have two buildings (one 16 units and one 14 units). I can install the gateway (data receiver) in the office, but I am not sure NextCentury will be able to collect data on the units in the second building.
I have have a few commercial units that will benefit before electric and water submeters but these best to be cellular and not dependent on tenants' having wifi at all times. Any recommendations?
@Weina Shi Haven’t used Metron personally, but I’ve heard from a few folks that it performs well when buildings are spread out / spotty WIFI. The cellular option is cool for exactly that reason... avoiding dependency on tenant internet.
Might be worth a demo or test unit to compare signal strength / reliability between the two systems. Would be interested to hear how it goes!
