What is a smart meter and why do I need one?
Strictly speaking, a smart meter consists of two units. A digital (“modern”) measuring device and a so-called “smart meter gateway”. This gateway ensures that consumption data can be communicated via the internet. In 2015, the “Act on the Digitization of the Energy Transition” was passed. This stipulated that from 2020, households/companies with an energy consumption of more than 6,000 kWh must have a smart meter installed. This is intended to make the entire energy grid more stable and use it more efficiently.
Can I connect multiple smart meters?
Yes, you can create several buildings and connect different meters (for example, your company and private household).
Which models/operators are supported?
You can find an overview of all supported devices on our homepage.

Your data is safe with us. It is particularly important to us that you have full control over your data. That is why all data is processed on EU servers. In addition, we only use technically necessary cookies (no third-party cookies for marketing purposes or similar). We use your data to help you save energy and costs. Your data helps us get one step closer to the energy transition. You can find more details about our data protection in our privacy policy.
Do you sell my personal data to third parties?
No. Your data will only be passed on to third parties if you instruct us to do so. For example, if it is necessary for the procurement of a product or service.
What exactly happens to my meter data?
We use your meter data to help you save costs and energy using various functions. For example, the real-time data helps us to suggest green electricity tariffs tailored to your individual consumption.
