Metrix IoT Device

Bridging the Gap Between Legacy Infrastructure and Smart Cloud Analytics.

While Itron provides the gold standard for new metering deployments, real-world APAC infrastructure is often a mix of old and new, wired and wireless, accessible and remote. Metrix is ZHTI’s IoT device line engineered to ensure no asset is left behind.

From Metrix Gen2 Meter Interface Units (MIUs) that turn any smart ready meter into a smart sensor, to non-invasive ultrasonic tank monitors that prevent overflow waste, Metrix devices deliver 99.9% data accuracy, 15-year battery life, and IP68 durability in the toughest built-up environments.

Purpose-built devices for every metering challenge.

Metrix Gen2 MIU

The Agnostic Smart Choice

Core Function: Patented plug-and-play clip-on sensor that digitizes existing inductive-pulse water meters with cellular or LPWAN connectivity.

Best For: Mixed fleets, legacy meters, and remote sites.

Metrix Gen2H MIU

Streamlined for Mass Deployment

Core Function: High-efficiency variant of the Gen2 optimized for mass residential deployments with compact form factor.

Best For: High-density housing estates, tight meter box spaces, cost-per-point critical installations.

Metrix M-Level

Non-Invasive Tank Monitoring

Core Function: Ultrasonic level sensor that installs beneath water tanks without drilling, cutting pipes, or draining contents.

Best For: Water storage monitoring, leak prevention, and pump optimization.

Smart Connectivity For Legacy and Remote Infrastructure.

Our network layer integrates three specialized solutions—each solving a distinct connectivity gap:

Metrix Gen2 Cellular MIU

The Metrix Gen2 MIU is a patented, plug-and-play clip-on sensor that attaches to almost any inductive-pulse water meter. It digitizes existing assets with cellular or LPWAN connectivity, enabling rapid deployment with zero gateway infrastructure.

Connectivity

LTE Cat-1 bis / NB-IoT / LoRaWAN / Wi-SUN (Modular)

Choose the network that works best for your site—cellular for remote industrial sites, LoRaWAN for dense urban clusters.

Battery Life

Up to 15 Years (19,000mAh Lithium)

Zero maintenance for the device’s entire lifecycle. Ideal for hard-to-reach pits and basements.

Accuracy

99.9% Pulse Read Accuracy

Patented inductive sensor ensures every drop is counted, matching the mechanical register exactly.

Durability

IP68 Rated, UV Resistant, -20°C to +55°C

Survives flooded meter boxes, tropical humidity, and direct sunlight exposure.

Intelligence

Auto-Backfilling (7 Days), Anti-Tamper Alerts

Never lose data during network outages. Instant alerts for magnet attacks or reverse flow.

Integration

Open APIs (MQTT, LWM2M, CoAP, UDP)

Connects to any cloud platform, BMS, or MDMS without vendor lock-in.

Metrix Gen2H MIU

Metrix Gen2H Meter Interface Unit (MIU) is a streamlined, high-efficiency variant of the Gen2, optimized for mass residential deployments where cost-per-point and rapid installation are critical. It retains all core reliability features while offering a compact form factor for tight meter box spaces.

Connectivity

LTE Cat-1 bis / NB-IoT / LoRaWAN

Choose the network that works best for your site—cellular for remote industrial sites, LoRaWAN for dense urban clusters.

Battery Life

Up to 7–10 Years (8,500mAh Lithium)

Balanced lifespan for typical residential billing cycles.

Accuracy

99.9% Pulse Read Accuracy

Patented inductive sensor ensures every drop is counted, matching the mechanical register exactly.

Durability

IP68 Rated, UV Resistant, -20°C to +55°C

Survives flooded meter boxes, tropical humidity, and direct sunlight exposure.

Intelligence

Auto-Backfilling (7 Days), Anti-Tamper Alerts

Never lose data during network outages. Instant alerts for magnet attacks or reverse flow.

Integration

Open APIs (MQTT, LWM2M, CoAP, UDP)

Connects to any cloud platform, BMS, or MDMS without vendor lock-in.

Metrix M-Level

Completing the visibility picture, the Metrix M-Level is a breakthrough ultrasonic level sensor that installs beneath water tanks without drilling, cutting pipes, or draining contents. While MIUs track consumption, M-Level tracks storage—preventing overflow waste and enabling smart pump control.

Connectivity

LTE / Modbus RTU

Cloud remote monitoring or SCADA/BMS integration for local control.

Power

24V DC

Flexible power sourcing for rooftop or basement installations.

Accuracy

±1% (±1mm resolution)

Precise level tracking for accurate volume calculation and leak detection.

Range

Up to 5 Meters

Suitable for most residential, commercial, and industrial storage tanks.

Compatibility

FRP, GRP, Steel, Plastic, Glass, Concrete*

Works with almost any tank material (*separate water level indicator required for concrete tanks).

Installation

Non-Invasive (Under-Tank Mount)

Install in <30 minutes. No downtime, no plumbing work, no tank entry permits.

Best For:

  • Preventing costly water overflow from stuck float valves.
  • Optimizing pump schedules to reduce energy consumption.
  • Monitoring remote or inaccessible storage tanks (e.g., rooftop, underground).
  • Detecting silent leaks in storage systems before they become structural issues.
