Wattmon — Independent Software Review

Wattmon offers a robust technology platform that supports remote monitoring, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, and Internet of Things (IoT) functionalities. The devices are programmable, allowing for actions similar to a programmable logic controller (PLC), which is essential for applications like zero-export and diesel generator synchronization.

The workflow is streamlined through the Wattmon EMS cloud, which connects multiple inverters, energy meters, and weather sensors. This integration ensures comprehensive monitoring of plant performance, enabling users to optimize energy generation and consumption effectively.

However, users must be aware of potential risks, such as reliance on internet connectivity for monitoring and control, which could impact system performance during outages. Additionally, the complexity of setup may pose challenges for less tech-savvy users.
