How much electricity will I consume this year? What is the difference in heating costs between winter and summer? How much water does my household use per week? How long will the level of my oil tank last? If you can not answer such or similar questions then EnergyControl is your app! *** Simple and Intuitive You do not need to make complicated settings - everything is simple and easy to understand. You have already recorded some meter readings? No problem - import your csv file and off you go. *** Flexible meters You can manage as many meters as you like. Each meter is configurable as you need it - for electricity, oil, gas, water and much more. With virtual meters you can join two meters and evaluate them in combination. If you want, you can give each meter its own color, so you can find it quickly. Entered meter data can be exported to a CSV file at any time. *** Consumption Analysis Analyze your consumption and costs with clear tables and charts. You can view the data in weeks, months, quarters or years. Intelligent forecasts tell you what costs you have to expect in the whole year or how long your fuel tank will last. *** Fast Meter Input With a swipe to the right in the overview you can enter a meter reading without annoying detour. The current meter reading is estimated and preset, so you often have to make only minimal adjustments. *** Cost Management You can manage the costs for each meter. The costs change to January? No problem. Just enter the new contract with the start date and the data will be calculated correctly. *** Free & Ad Free You can download and use EnergyControl completely for free.
