How do I add a meter and a reading?

Register your meters in Smovin, then enter their readings to track electricity, gas and water consumption.

To add a reading, the meter must exist first. So you create the meter, then add its readings.

Add a meter

  1. In the left-hand menu, click "Properties".

  2. Open the relevant unit or building by clicking on it.

  3. Click the "Meters" tab.

  4. Click the "Add a meter" button. The "New meter" window opens.

  5. In "Meter category", choose "Electricity", "Gas" or "Water".

  6. Fill in the fields shown, which depend on the category:

    • Electricity: "Meter sub-category" (Single rate meter, Dual meter, Night rate only meter or Smart meter), "EAN number", "Meter name" and "Meter number".

    • Gas: "EAN number", "Meter name" and "Meter number".

    • Water: "Meter sub-category" (Cycle meter, Cycle hot and cold meter or General meter) and "Meter name".

  7. Click "Add". The meter appears in the table of the "Meters" section.

Add a reading

  1. In the meters table, click the ⋮ (three dots) icon on the right of the meter's row.

  2. Click "Add a reading". The "New reading" window opens.

  3. Fill in the "Date" of the reading.

  4. Fill in the reading(s): a single meter shows one "Reading" field; a dual meter shows "Reading (day)" and "Reading (night)".

  5. Optional: drag and drop a file (for example a photo of the meter) or click "Select a file".

  6. Click "Save". The reading is saved and the last reading appears in the table.
