Version 1.5
1.1 General description
The purpose of the WebdynEasy W M-Bus W M-Bus hub is to collect data from Wireless M-
Bus sensors such as meters (water, gas and electricity) and sensors (temperature, humidity,
etc...). This technology is energy-efficient, the hub battery service life can exceed 10 years.
Data collection is by radio on the 868MHz frequency. This frequency is free of charge and its
use is harmonised in many EU countries.
The collected information (data, parameters, alarms, ...) is formatted to BSON format before
being sent to an information system (IS) by modem.
1.2 Operating principle
WebdynEasy W M-Bus W M-Bus allows you to build your private network and is part of a
package. WM-Bus communication is point-to-point in a non-operated way. The meters or
sensors regularly send data frames, which are received and the raw data (encrypted or
transparent) contained in these frames are stored by the WM-Bus hub. WebdynEasy W M-
Bus W M-Bus will regularly send a file in BSON format containing the whole raw data of the
different sensors to a server via FTP using its 2G/LTE-M or modem. It is possible to secure the
exchanged files between the WebdynEasy W M-Bus W M-Bus and the FTP server by activating
the AES encryption (see chapter 4.2.1.2 : “security”).
WebdynEasy W M-Bus W M-Bus can be configured by connecting it to a computer via USB or
by BLE using a smartphone app.

Version 1.5
2.1 Prerequisite
Since the role of the WebdynEasy W M-Bus W M-Bus hub is to send the data it collects to an
IS, the installation requires sufficient knowledge of the hub, but also of the information system
to which it sends its data.
The following is required to ensure proper installation:
-To have this user manual to hand.
-To have a screwdriver suitable for the types of connectors and screws available on the
WebdynEasy W M-Bus W M-Bus hub.
-To have knowledge of the parameters to connect to the IS information system.
-To have a SIM card with an activated M2M (data) subscription and knowledge of the
provider's APN.
-To have a magnet.
It is also strongly recommended to have the elements described below for any intervention
on site and to install the product.
-Use a remote antenna if radio or cellular modem reception is deteriorated.
-Have an Android smartphone with the WebdynEasy W M-Bus W M-Bus app installed
to facilitate product configuration.
-Have a PC for product configuration or update via USB.
2.2 Unpacking
2.2.1 Contents
The WebdynEasy W M-Bus W M-Bus hub comes standard with:
