Product description
Overview
The YO Power measures AC flowing through devices connected to the electricity grid. With one YO
Power it is possible to measure the current simultaneously (e.g., in two three-phase, six single-phase,
one three-phase and three single-phase devices, etc.). It is possible to install current clamps without
knowing the direction through which the current flows. Wireless communication eliminates the need
for additional wiring or conversion of existing installations. By means of the application algorithm
developed by the Yosensi Team, and despite the limitations of data transfer in the LoRaWAN
network, it is possible to establish accurate mapping of current and power consumption.

Current
YO Power offers automatically switchable measurement ranges: 2 A, 10 A, 50 A, 100 A., which
results in even greater precision when measuring current. Each channel can measure current over
different measuring ranges simultaneously. The YO Power has measurement inputs with specialized
integrated circuits (e.g. specialized analog-to-digital converters) that ensure high measurement
accuracy.

Power consumption
Power consumption measured by YO Power and attached to it CT clamps is a value calculated for
each hour for 230 V and current flowing on each channel. It helps monitor customers how much
power is consumed by the devices every hour and check anomalies in the electric network.

SYMBOL
DESCRIPTION
Device is marked with a symbol saying that electrical and electronic
products may not be mixed with unsorted household waste. Remember
that batteries used to power the device must be treated at a specialized
treatment facility.
Remember about possible electrostatic discharge when replacing battery,
connecting input or doing some other operations near inside electronics.
Be careful while handling the device – dropping it may cause damage that will
affect the sensors and other electronics inside.
When installing the device on the wall remember to wear adequate protective
equipment.
To maintain the level of protection device cover screws must be properly
tightened. Device shouldn’t be used without cover.
Any actions inside the device's enclosure (excluding replacing batteries) must
be performed by trained personnel only.
Clean the device only with damp cloth.
Device is intended for outdoor and indoor use.

Operation
IoT system components
Typical IoT systems consist of 3 main elements (Figure 11), brief described below. In order to set
communication, each element must be properly configured.
1. Node – device with sensors and a wireless communication module that gathers data, forms
the payload and sends it to the gateway.
2. Gateway – device similar to routers, equipped with a LoRa concentrator, that receives LoRa
packets and send them to the Internet-connected server.
3. Server – in most cases, a cloud-based service where data is processed, stored, analysed, and
presented in user-friendly ways (via a user interface); Yosensi default and recommended
tools are Yosensi Management Platform (for IoT structure management) and Grafana (for
data presentation).

Device configuration
Configurable parameters
A few parameters must be set before sending data to the gateway. The default firmware is configured
in OTAA mode with predefined deveui,appkey (OTAA)and appskey,nwkskey (ABP).
Configuration of the device is stored in a JSON file divided into the following sections:
-info (generic, read only): information about the device,
-lorawan (generic): configuration data for LoRaWAN connection,
-ble (generic): bluetooth settings,
-device (dynamic): individual configuration for a specific device (this section’s structure differs
for each device),

Parameters description
-nwktype: used for setting the device in public or private network type.
-acttype: used for setting the device in ABP or OTAA mode.
-deveui, … , appskey: predefined addresses and keys, these parameters are generated using
multiple IDs specific to the particular MCU and are unique for each device.; they can be
changed if needed.
-interval: determines the interval of sending broadcast packets, used to connect to every BLE
receiver around the device.
-subband: used for setting the communication frequency sub-band in LoRaWAN.
-measinterval: measurement interval [s] between sending LoRa packets.
-measthreshold: measurement threshold for each channel. If the current value between the
previous measurement and the next differs by a value of ‘meastreshold’, it queues this data
for sending. The current difference is reported in subsequent LoRa packets along with the
measurement time.
-ch1cttype…ch6cttype: 6 different channels to which the current transducer clamps can be
connected. For correct measurements and measuring ranges, the possible value must
coincide with the sensor connected to the device.
