Even fewer stranded smart devices with Wireless Network Connector

Packet Power's Wireless Network Connector provides an easy way to make supported metered devices not connected to a network work over Packet Power's wireless network. We've just added more supported devices so you'll have fewer stranded smart devices.

 Wireless Network Connector Features

  • Auto-detects select smart devices from a number of manufacturers
  • Instantly connects to Packet Power's self-configuring, self-optimizing wireless mesh network
  • Use the local LCD to immediately verify correct operation
  • Supports up to two optional temperature probes
  • Can be mounted with a low profile bracket, via a DIN rail clip, or by optional magnet
  • Powered by external 100-240V power supply (works with most plug types including C13); some power strips can power the WNC directly from USB or other ports

Easy access to data
Customers with existing monitoring applications can access data sent by the WNC via a Packet Power Ethernet Gateway using standard protocols such as SNMP, Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP and MTConnect. Support for BACnet/IP and MQTT protocols is coming early 2021. Packet Power's EMX Energy Portal provides an easy-to-use option for customers that have yet to deploy a monitoring application.
