Link a unit to a UMeter address and see energy use

1. 1Connect your UMeter account in Settings.
2. 2Open a property and choose the Energy tab.
3. 3For each unit, pick an address in UMeter address and choose Link.
4. 4Choose Show energy use to see a chart of the last 12 months. Choose Hide energy use to close it.

Each address can be linked to one unit. To switch to another address, pick it and choose Change. Choose Unlink to free the address again.

Use the Electricity / Gas switch for the chart: electricity in kWh and gas in m³. It also shows the last full month, the 12-month total and the change from the month before. The latest month is still running, so it looks low.

A linked unit also shows its energy use on the Energy tab of the unit page. An unlinked unit shows No UMeter address linked and a Go to Energy link.

If the tenant pays the energy bill

Usually the tenant holds the energy contract, so only the tenant can connect it. A tenant can connect their own UMeter account on the dashboard, pick the address in Choose your address…, choose Link, and read their own use there. This needs an active lease.

The tenant can also switch on Share monthly totals with my landlord. It is off by default. When it is on, you see the monthly electricity and gas totals for that unit on the Energy tab, marked Shared by tenant. You never see daily or hourly readings, and the tenant can switch sharing off at any time. Sharing also switches off when the tenant links a different address.
