BMeters Hydroclima 2
Description
HYDROCLIMA-2 is a heat cost allocator with dual temperature sensors and ambient temperature recording. It features wireless M-Bus communication, 10-year battery life, and provides up to 24 months of historical consumption and temperature statistics.
Configuration
The device is delivered pre-configured, but it can be reprogrammed and customized through BMetering Software.
Configuration Procedure
Programming and configuration of the device is carried out by radio, using an RFM-RX2 receiver and BMetering Software.
To trigger the configuration procedure, the BMetering software must be properly configured:
- for the factory state of the allocator, press the button for < 1s
- for the allocator already configured, press the button for > 5s, until the display shows the message “rF”.
The method of configuration the allocator has been described in the documentation concerning the Bmetering software user manual.
Wireless M-Bus Address Configuration
Where to Find the Address on the Device
The address is located above the barcode and below the display, as shown in the image below (8 digits).
Mapping the wM-Bus Address to Chester
The mapping must be carried out using the Chester terminal, for example with:
Managing and Adding wM-Bus Device Addresses in Chester
Here you can manage the list of wM-Bus addresses (add/remove), adjust scan settings, and review example configurations for typical setups.
- Address List Configuration – manage and edit the list of linked wM-Bus addresses
- Scan Configuration – adjust scan settings for device communication
- Example Configurations – reference templates for typical setups
Message Encryption and Key Management
The transmitted messages are encrypted to optimize energy consumption during data transmission, which extends the overall battery life.
The received data must therefore be decrypted, which is done using decryption keys.
To achieve this, there are two options:
- Hardwario Cloud – tutorial on how to enter and manage decryption keys
- Decryption page – online tool for manual data decryption and analysis
