MQTT is a modern, stable and efficient way to send data from meters and other data sources directly to a platform. Enity EMS supports receiving meter data via MQTT, with data sent in JSON format directly to the platform.

Benefits of MQTT

• Faster data flow and lower latency
• High data security through TLS certificates
• Direct data delivery with no file handling or manual processes
• Scalability, so many metering points can be supported without extra load

When does MQTT make sense?

MQTT makes it easier to set up a reliable data path to your EMS, so data can quickly be used for reporting, analysis and alerts. Enity therefore recommends MQTT for all new data sources where possible.

MQTT and other data sources

MQTT is one of several ways to get data into Enity EMS. Electricity consumption in Denmark, for example, can be collected automatically from DataHub, and the platform also supports open APIs (REST and GraphQL) and standards such as CIM, OPC, BACnet and Modbus. This makes it possible to bring together data from meters, utilities, BMS, IoT sensors and other systems in one place.

How to get started

Customers can find a technical guide to setting up MQTT in the Knowledge Centre on the customer portal. Enity support can provide the necessary certificates and access details, and our IT team can assist your data supplier during setup.
