HEAT NETWORKS
Guru Hub 3 Core
Capture heat network data, plus data from up to three other utilities. Guru Hub 3 Core is a flexible, screen-free metering solution for heat networks that supports credit billing and app-based pay-as-you-go (PAYG). The accompanying software structures this data so it can be accessed online, or sent to your chosen metering and billing provider.

Choose the billing model that works for your heat network customers. Guru Hub 3 Core supports credit billing and app-based PAYG, helping heat network operators avoid lock-in and work with their preferred metering and billing provider.
- Price comparable with wired M-Bus
- HIU, valve and meter agnostic
- Ethernet-based version for wired communications
- Supports remote switching between credit and PAYG
COMPLIANCE
Prepare for regulation
Collect the structured data needed to support heat network compliance, reporting and performance monitoring.
Guru Hub 3 Core captures data from heat meters and up to three other utilities, helping operators prepare for HNTAS and the wider move to regulated heat network operation.
