About this app

Understand your energy usage with pixometer

With our pixometer App, you’ll get a grasp of your energy usage. Scan your meter using the camera of your mobile device – just as simple as a barcode. pixometer will even read the result to you aloud.

Register a free pixometer account so you can edit the provided example meters in the pixometer portal (https://pixometer.io/portal/) to match your actual meters. In this way you can also save all your readings with date, time and a photo proof. You can use the same account on multiple devices to get synced data. Sharing an account with your family makes everyone participate.

When scanning your meter with the pixometer app on a regular basis, you’ll soon get an understanding of your energy usage. You can also use the app to snap your meter reading if your tariff is about to change or if you need a proof for other reasons.

The pixometer app recognizes mechanical counters (single and double tariff) as well as digital LCD meters. If the scan mode does not automatically snap a picture, tap the capture button to take a picture and enter the reading manually. Our algorithms will learn from all saved images (anonymously) so that the next update will deliver improved recognition performance.

Would be great to switch between cameras. I only can use the front camera of my LG V20, which is really annoying. Otherwise great app.

Thanks for the feedback! This issue will be addressed in a future update (by making sure the selected camera is back-facing). If you'd like to test this feature early, you can become a beta tester by sending us the name of your Google Play Store account to developer@pixometer.io

[*] On pixometer site, there is no option to download all zipped photos. [*] When entering meter reading on unsuccessful read, there is no option to add decimal point. [*] Subscription plans are not acceptable. [*] Overall: Excellent application. Waiting for update.

Dear Mr. Billik, Thank you for your feedback! There should be a decimal point (or comma) for manual meter reading input. If not, please contact us at pixometer@pixometer.io We also updated our subscription plans, so please have a look again if it fits your needs: http://pixometer.io/info/#pricing

You MUST give them an email account. After registration and email activation I can shoot photos. BUT u can add ONLY one meter x type. So one electricity meter etc etc. And the WORST thing it does not automatically write numbers from the picture. What's the purpose to take a picture jn the first place?! I'll continue to use ECAS.

Sorry to hear, pixometer is not working for you! It should read any of your meters automatically, so you do not have to manually take the picture or type the reading. Sadly not every kind of meter is supported so far, but by taking more pictures of your unsupported meters you can help us improve! You can configure your meters at pixometer.io/portal
