Low Cost Wireless Sensor Network for Smart Gas Metering using Antares IoT Platform

The Internet of Things (IoT) takes internet advancement to the next level, making devices connected to each other with internet communication network technology and making new services part of the development of legacy services such as conventional measurement systems. Gas measuring instrument infrastructure consists data collection, distribution analysis and gas consumption. The development of digital technology in gas measuring instruments is needed to help the monitoring system run effectively and efficiently. In this paper, the Smart Gas Meter device is designed to use LoRa RFM95 hardware with a Class C type communication system to transmit the Uplink and Downlink connected to Antares. The LoRa Smart Gas Meter is designed to retrieve gas meter data, battery voltage data, read status and control the solenoid valve sent to the Antares Platform. Data from LoRa hardware will be managed and monitored in the Antares database. Antares is an IoT Platform that connects various electronic devices, sensors and applications in one system in a cloud network. So that each device is connected to each other and exchanges data in a unified IoT network.
