Combining automated and manual meter readings
You have an automatic data source or app linked to your EnergyID record, but you already had a manual meter for the same energy, water or waste flow.
To avoid double counting, it is important to configure the old meter correctly.
-
Find the date of the first automatic meter reading
- Open your record and go to Meters.
- Click on the name of your new, automated meter.
- In the Meter Readings tab, scroll all the way down to the oldest meter reading. Click More to load additional meter readings.
- Copy the date and time of the meter reading to your clipboard or write it down on a paper.
-
Archive your manual meter
- Open your record and go to Meters.
- Click on the name of your old, manual meter.
- Click on the Properties tab.
- Change the name of the meter, for example from "Electricity" to "Electricity (old)". This step is optional.
- If you no longer wish to see the meter in the overview, turn off Show meter in the overview.
- Scroll down to the field Reporting > Reporting period > To and enter the date and time you found in step 1.
- Click Save.
IMPORTANT
Archiving or hiding a meter does not mean that the measurement data disappears from our system.
The meter will still be included in the reports, and your reference consumption - necessary to quantify your savings - will still be calculated.
