MQTT & Energy APIs & Third-party server&Modbus/TCP

By a simple configuration, IAMMETER products can push energy data directly to the third-party cloud and will not push energy data to IAMMETER-cloud anymore. So if you have IAMMETER products but do not want to use IAMMETER-cloud for some reasons, you can also develop your own cloud service.

 

IAMMETER-cloud provides an MQTT broker service, so you can subscribe your energy data from it. IAMMETER-Cloud also provides NEST API that you can get data from it easily.

 

For more details ,please refer to How to develop your own system by IAMMETER products and system
