What Fludia does
Fludia is a French private company (SARL) founded in 2002 and headquartered in Suresnes, near Paris, that designs and commercializes Plug&Play IoT sensors for non-intrusive energy consumption monitoring in buildings. Its product portfolio centers on optical-reading electricity and gas sensors (FM232, FM432 families), the FM332Log datalogger, and the recently launched tagawatt submetering system (comprising watTag current clamps, volTag voltage sensors, and watt-L concentrators). The technology uses optical meter reading, Rogowski current clamps, and multiple LPWAN connectivity options (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT/LTE-M, local LoRa) to enable installation without electrical work or power interruption, with sensors chaining together to simplify deployment.
The company monetizes primarily through one-time hardware sales via a direct e-commerce shop (shop.fludia.com) and a European partner network of more than 100 resellers and integrators. Products are sold individually or in use-case bundles priced between roughly €130 and €350 (excluding VAT), with a perpetual license model. Customer segments include small and medium buildings (offices, stores, schools, residential), energy utilities, energy service companies (ESCOs), smart home and smart building integrators, photovoltaic system integrators, and engineering/control offices across France, Germany, Ireland, the UK, and Switzerland. Fludia has commercialized more than 100,000 sensors globally, holds patents on the tagawatt system, and has co-developed innovation projects (EFFIGINI, FUSINI) with ADEME, France's ecological transition agency. The firm is privately held with 1-10 employees, no disclosed external funding, and no parent company, operating as a self-funded, profitable small business with active ongoing product expansion.

Fludia product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Fludia designs, manufactures, and sells Plug&Play IoT sensors for non-intrusive monitoring of electricity and gas consumption in small and medium-sized buildings. Its product range includes optical-reading IoT sensors (FM432 and FM232 families) with LoRaWAN, NB-IoT/LTE-M, and local LoRa connectivity, the patented tagawatt submetering system (watTag, volTag, watt-L) for circuit-level disaggregation, FM332Log dataloggers, F-Link local gateways, and accompanying cloud data services. Products are sold individually or as bundled packs via a direct online shop and a European partner network serving energy utilities, ESCOs, smart building integrators, and photovoltaic installers.
Product overview
Fludia offers a comprehensive IoT energy monitoring ecosystem consisting of Plug&Play sensors, gateways, and software. The product portfolio centers on three main lines: (1) tagawatt - a submetering solution for disaggregated energy monitoring in electrical panels, comprising watTag current clamps, volTag voltage sensors, and watt-L concentrator; (2) FM332/FM432 IoT sensor families with optical reading heads for electricity monitoring, available in LoRaWAN and local LoRa variants; and (3) the FM332Log datalogger for standalone power curve recording. Sensors transmit data via LoRaWAN (cellular NB-IoT/LTE-M), local LoRa, or point-to-point LoRa to F-Bridge/F-Link gateways, which forward data to Fludia's cloud platform for visualization and analysis.

Brands
- tagawatt: Plug&Play submetering solution for monitoring disaggregated energy consumption in buildings. Includes watTag (current clamp), volTag (voltage sensor), and watt-L (concentrator). Patented innovation.
Products and services
- tagawatt Submetering System Plug&play submetering solution for monitoring disaggregated energy consumption in buildings. The system consists of watTag (current clamp), volTag (voltage sensor), and watt-L (concentrator) components that enable precise end-use-by-end-use measurement, overconsumption detection, and corrective action support without cutting the power supply.
- watTag Current Clamp Current clamp sensor using Rogowski technology that opens from the front for easy positioning on live wires; measures current and calculates active power for electrical circuit monitoring.
- volTag Voltage Sensor Voltage sensor that attaches magnetically to circuit breaker screws for easy positioning; pairs with watTag to enable accurate active power measurement calculations.
- watt-L Concentrator Concentrator that orchestrates the tagawatt measurement protocol and uploads data to the cloud; supports local and remote configuration via NB-IoT/LTE-M or special cable.

Fludia competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Smappee: Belgian provider of smart energy monitoring and submetering solutions for residential and commercial buildings. Highly comparable to Fludia's tagawatt offering as both compete in non-intrusive circuit-level energy monitoring for SMBs and prosumers across Europe.
- Plugwise: Dutch manufacturer of smart energy monitoring and home automation products with strong presence in the Netherlands and Germany. Directly comparable to Fludia's IoT energy sensors (FM432 series) and serves overlapping ESCO and integrator channels.
- Shelly: Bulgarian maker of affordable smart home IoT relays, sensors, and energy monitoring devices. Competes with Fludia in the SMB and prosumer smart energy monitoring segment, particularly through direct e-commerce channels across Europe.
- OWL (The OWL Energy Monitor): UK-based smart energy monitoring sensor manufacturer serving residential and small commercial customers. Comparable product positioning to Fludia's plug&play electricity sensors, with overlapping channel partners and use cases.
- Wattsense: French smart buildings IoT platform that aggregates building data including energy consumption. Comparable to Fludia as a French-headquartered IoT player targeting small/medium building operators with energy and HVAC monitoring capabilities.
Emerging players
- NET2GRID: Netherlands-based energy analytics company focused on non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) and smart meter analytics for utilities. Comparable in its energy data analytics capability (Fludia's EFFIGINI/FUSINI lineage) and its European utility channel.
- Tibber: Norwegian digital energy retailer offering smart energy management with hardware sensors (Watty) and consumption analytics. Comparable in combining energy monitoring hardware with data services for European SMB and residential customers.
- Shina System (Smart Energy Cloud): South Korean provider of real-time energy monitoring and NILM analytics for residential and small commercial buildings. Comparable in its sensor-plus-cloud architecture and focus on disaggregated consumption insights, though operating primarily in Asia.
Broad incumbents
- Schneider Electric (Wiser Energy / EcoStruxure): Global energy management and automation incumbent with Wiser Energy and EcoStruxure building solutions covering submetering and energy monitoring. Comparable as a competing energy monitoring offering for commercial buildings, but Schneider operates at far greater scale and across a much broader portfolio.
- Legrand: Global electrical and digital building infrastructure major, owner of Netatmo smart home brand. Competes indirectly through integrated building energy monitoring offerings and a global sales footprint that dwarfs Fludia's European focus.
