IMD<\/p>\n

Individual metering and billing (IMD) with IoT meters<\/h1>\n

Read the water, heat and electricity use of every apartment or tenant automatically, and use the data as the basis for charging by actual use. Meters report over LoRaWAN or M-Bus, and Sensor-Online collects, stores and reports the readings.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>
What is individual metering and billing?<\/summary>

It means measuring the consumption of water, heat or electricity in each unit, so that costs can be charged by actual use.<\/p><\/details>

Which meters can I use?<\/summary>

Water meters, electricity meters and M-Bus meters, as well as readers and pulse sensors for compatible existing meters. Browse the metering devices in our catalogue.<\/p><\/details>

Do I need to replace my existing meters?<\/summary>

Not always. Some meters can get remote reading through a reader or pulse sensor, depending on the meter model.<\/p><\/details>

How do I get the data into my billing process?<\/summary>

Export readings as Excel or CSV, or fetch them through the REST API.<\/p><\/details>

Can housing associations or tenants see their own data?<\/summary>

Yes. In a multi-tenant setup each customer has their own view and only sees their own data.<\/p><\/details>

Which networks are used?<\/summary>

Meters report over LoRaWAN or M-Bus, depending on the meter, and Sensor-Online supports other networks as well.<\/p><\/details><\/div><\/section>\n
