About

Meter

Features
Read full description

Meter is a reading log for every utility meter you are responsible for – at home, in a rented house, in your holiday flat. A READING IS A PHOTO Point the camera at the meter, tap, done. Meter recognizes the value in the picture, reads the meter number and assigns the reading to the right meter. Several meters in a row? Just keep shooting – analysis runs in the background. SEVERAL HOUSES, NO MESS Addresses and meters are created automatically as you take readings. Electricity, gas and water sit neatly side by side, sorted by house, each with its latest value. For every reading, Meter also notes the meter's manufacturer, model and condition – and you can overwrite that at any time. CONSUMPTION OVER TIME For every meter, Meter charts the daily consumption between two readings. Pinch with two fingers to zoom into a period; the scale adapts automatically. Every reading shows the daily average since the one before. BACK UP AND MOVE All readings can be exported as CSV and imported again at any time – for your tax accountant, the utility bill or your next iPhone. WORKS IN THE BASEMENT No signal while reading? No problem. Photos are stored and analyzed as soon as you are back online. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Readings and photos live on your iPhone. For text recognition, only the meter photo itself is processed – no names, no identifiers. FREE, WITHIN FAIR USE Meter is free for private households. If you would like to use the photo analysis very heavily or commercially, please get in touch at hello@immca.de.
