Is the Hager SM103E compatible with remote monitoring?
Yes. Rhino already reads the Hager SM103E over RS485 Modbus.
Coverage reviewed 2026-08-25, and it grows continuously.
What it takes.
What connecting it involves.
The Hager SM103E measures through current transformers rather than carrying the load itself. That makes the meter side of the job small and the electrical side of it the part to plan around: the CTs sit on the cable, and getting to them usually means arranging a window when that circuit can be taken down.
Where the transformers are already installed, which is common on anything metered at a distribution board, the work is limited to wiring the Rhino expansion device to the meter output and pairing it with the access point.
Mounting on file: Panel. That matters mostly for where the expansion device ends up sitting and whether there is DIN space left in the cabinet for it.
None of this covers site feasibility. RF range, cabinet access and power availability are survey questions, and a compatibility yes is not an installation yes.
Any meter that speaks Modbus or M-Bus connects to the Rhino AP, whether or not we have set that model up before. What we have already configured is a record of past work, not a boundary. Tell us what you have at sales@rhino.energy and we will name the device you need.
One meter checked. Now do the building.
Send us the meter list for the site and we will come back with the device per meter, the transformers and adapters it needs, and the parts of the job that need an electrician on site. Before anyone talks about price.
