01.2 / Three sensors
One platform. Three SKUs. Every commercial energy measurement.
Self-powered. Wireless. Revenue-grade. Each sensor harvests its own power from the conductor it monitors — no batteries to replace, no parasitic load on the panel.
Voltage & true-power monitor
3-phase voltage, real / reactive / apparent power, power factor — with optional Rogowski coils for retrofit-friendly amperage.
- 120V – 480V · 3-phase configurable
- Optional Rogowski: 8″ · 24″ · 300A CT head
- Modbus + LoRaWAN output
Universal pulse counter
Reads dry-contact and open-collector pulses from water meters, gas meters, BTU meters, runtime hours — anything that pulses.
- 2-channel dry-contact input
- Configurable pulse ratio & unit
- LoRaWAN reporting · 15-min to 1-hr cadence
01.3 / Industries served
Where Vutility is deployed.
Three sensors, one platform — applied across 12 commercial verticals.
Commercial Real Estate
Tenant-level submetering, ESG reporting, and ESCO-grade revenue billing.

Industrial & Manufacturing
Production-line energy attribution; identify the spindle, line, or compressor driving demand.
Telecommunications
Cell tower DC and AC monitoring — no truck rolls, no rectifier downtime.
Multifamily Housing
Unit-level submetering for tenant billing recovery and ENERGY STAR scoring.
Institutional / Public Sector
Campus, school district, and municipal facility energy audits.
Energy & Sustainability
ESG benchmarking, ESCO performance contracts, third-party verification.
Utilities & Infrastructure
Distribution feeder monitoring, demand response, transformer load profiling.
Healthcare

Retail & Multi-Site Enterprises
Standardized submetering across 100s of stores with one CloudVU tenancy.
Oil & Gas
Refinery, midstream, upstream — ANSI C12.20 revenue-grade in hazardous classifications.
Marinas
Per-slip shore-power kWh, fuel-dock load attribution, and dockmaster billing across the marina.
01.4 / Install
Seconds per circuit. No panel downtime.
Every other commercial submeter requires a licensed electrician to pull the breaker, de-energize the bus, and install in a service window. Vutility doesn't.
1
Open the panel door.
No lockout/tagout. No de-energizing. No service window.
2
Clip the sensor on.
Split-core jaw closes over the conductor with one hand. The sensor harvests its own power from the magnetic field — no wiring, no batteries, no aux supply.
3
Data flows in CloudVU within minutes.
LoRaWAN handshake to the gateway, first reading uploaded, device appears in the site tree. Done.
4
Repeat. 100, 1,000, 4,500 circuits.
RJourney's campground network: 4,500+ sensors across 50+ campgrounds. Same hardware, same install motion, every site.
01.5 / CloudVU platform

Docs
"What SNR threshold means I should worry about packet loss on a HotDrop?"
Per the HotDrop spec sheet (rev 2.4, §7.2): SNR below −5 dB indicates marginal signal. Below −10 dB, expect intermittent packet loss.

💡 Want me to list devices currently below −5 dB SNR?
Write
"Move VUHD-26D5-A under Building A › Panel 1A and rename it 'Main Switchgear Phase A'."
Done. VUHD-26D5-A moved and renamed. Change logged at 2026-06-02 09:14:55Z.
- Unassigned › VUHD-26D5-A + Building A › Panel 1A › Main Switchgear Phase A
💡 Want me to apply the same rename pattern to the other 7 HotDrops in Building A?
Available now in CloudVU. No additional license. No metered usage.
