      What are the network requirements for Measurable Energy sockets?

      Specifications

      Bandwidth

      		 Typically, it's at 6 Mb a day per socket but can reach up to 50 Mb a day per socket
      Frequency 2.4 GHz
      Wi-Fi Encryption WPA2 PSK
      Communication with other devices None
      Communication with other sockets None 
      Allow listing required

      Port 123 TCP/UDP: time.aws.com

      Port 443 + 8000 TCP/UDP: firmware.measurable.energy

      Port 8883 TCP/UDP: iot-mqtt-eu-west-2.measurable.energy

      Further requirements for Wi-Fi connection

      For the m.e Power Sockets to connect to your Wi-Fi details, we must obtain 
      your SSID and password. We provision your Wi-Fi details in our secure 
      provisioning environment and use 1Pasword vaults to share Wi-Fi details 
      securely. 

       

      1Password is a secure vault that only you, or a person you nominate, and 
      measurable energy will have access to. Details about their security can be found here: 1password security.

       

      Common reasons why Wi-Fi connection fails: 

      • Incorrect SSID and password shared with the m.e team.
      • Frequency on 5 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz.
      • A firewall blocking m.e access.
