What are the network requirements for measurable.energy sockets?

Specifications

Bandwidth

 Typically, 6 MB per 24 hours per socket (dual gang and FCU), 1000 sockets will not exceed 1MB/s

Frequency

 2.4 GHz

Wi-Fi Encryption

 zWPA2 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

Wi-Fi Coverage

 Suitable coverage and capacity is required by Wi-Fi  access points to cover all areas where m.e Power  Sockets are installed. This may require additional  access points if m.e Power Sockets are installed in  areas lacking Wi-Fi coverage.

Minimum bitrate

 Set no higher than 11 Mbits/s

IP Address availability

 Enough unused IP addresses available for 1 per m.e device. Desk extension kits (BB4) should be treated as 2 devices.

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.

    • Watch out for trailing spaces in SSID.

  • Frequency on 5 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz.

  • A firewall blocking m.e access.

  •  Poor network coverage with not enough access points for the space.
