What is M-Bus?
M-Bus (EN 13757) is a European standard for remote reading of energy meters – heat, water, gas, electricity – using a two-wire bus topology that enables automatic central collection of consumption data from up to 250 meters.
Technical Definition: A European standard (EN 13757) for remote reading of energy meters – heat, water, gas, electricity. M-Bus uses a two-wire bus topology where up to 250 meters can be connected per master device, enabling central automatic collection of consumption data.
Why it matters: M-Bus is the standard for automatic meter reading in European buildings. Without it, energy consumption must be read manually – expensive, infrequent and unable to detect leaks or anomalies in real time.
HubMind’s view: Connecting M-Bus meters to a central platform via a gateway is often the first step in energy optimisation. The data quality from M-Bus is generally high and reliable, making it an excellent foundation for energy analytics.
