Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A for switching typical mains loads
• Wireless protocol: LoRaWAN for long-range low-power communication
• Functions: remote on/off switching and basic energy measurement
• Power supply: mains powered socket for connected devices
• Form factor: portable, single-socket design suitable for field use

How to use

Install the Portable Socket by connecting it to a compatible mains outlet and pairing it to a LoRaWAN network via a supported gateway and network server. Once provisioned, configure device settings within the network management platform to enable remote switching and energy reporting. Connect the target appliance to the socket and control power remotely through the LoRaWAN application or platform interface. Monitor reported consumption values to assess runtime and energy use.

Recommendations

Use the device within its rated current limits and in accordance with local electrical regulations. Verify LoRaWAN network coverage and gateway configuration before deploying in remote locations. For outdoor or exposed installations, confirm the enclosure rating and provide additional protection if required. Regularly check reported measurements and remotely switch loads off when not required to optimize energy usage and avoid overloads.
