How do I bind a new smart meter to my property or unit?

Use the smart meter add flow to bind a new meter to a [Property] or [Unit]. On Web, the entry is under [IoT Devices]. On App, you open the [Meters] tab from [IoT Devices].

Entry:

  • Web: [IoT Devices] -> [Smart Meters] -> [Add Meter]
  • App: [IoT Devices] -> [Meters] -> add icon -> [Add Meter]

Web​

Step 1 Open [Smart Meters], then click [Add Meter].

Step 2 Choose the meter brand and decide whether [Link to Property] should stay on.

  • Leave [Link to Property] on when you want to bind the meter immediately.
  • Choose [Property] or [Unit], then pick a target from the current bindable list.
  • Turn [Link to Property] off only when you need to add the smart meter first and link it later.
