Energiekosten im Blick mit pixometer self Mit pixometer self haben Sie Ihren Energieverbrauch im Blick. Scannen Sie den Zählerstand Ihres Strom-, Gas- oder Wasserzählers – so einfach wie einen Barcode. pixometer self liest Ihnen den Zählerstand sogar vor. Wenn Sie regelmäßig mit der pixometer self App Ihren Zähler erfassen, bekommen Sie schnell einen Überblick über Ihren Energieverbrauch. Sie können auch den Zählerstand festhalten, wenn eine Tarifänderung ansteht oder wenn Sie aus anderen Gründen einen Nachweis gegenüber Ihrem Energieversorger benötigen. Die App erkennt mechanische Zählwerke (Ein- und Doppeltarif) sowie digitale LCD-Zähler. Wenn der Scanner nicht automatisch auslöst, tippen Sie auf den Auslöseknopf, um ein Foto zu machen und den Zählerstand manuell einzutragen. Gegenüber unsere alten App pixometer konnten wir die Erkennungsleistung deutlich verbessern. Die aktuelle Version der App funktioniert komplett ohne Login und Datenübermittlung an uns oder Dritte. Wir planen, eine optionale Cloud-Anbindung nachzureichen, um einen ähnlichen Funktionsumfang wie in der alten pixometer-App anbieten zu können.
