Data Logger
A data logger is a device that records measurements — such as energy consumption, temperature, or humidity — over time, typically for later retrieval or transmission.
Definition
A data logger is a standalone device that records sensor measurements over time, either storing data locally for periodic retrieval or transmitting it continuously. In energy monitoring, data loggers are often used to capture consumption or environmental data from equipment that lacks native connectivity.
Why It Matters
Data loggers extend monitoring capability to equipment or meters that don't have built-in smart connectivity, without requiring a full hardware replacement.
How ecolyptus Helps
ecolyptus can ingest data from third-party data loggers via standard integration protocols, consolidating it alongside smart meter and sensor feeds.
