💡 Solution Description

The Water Metering template is a production-ready accelerator for Smart Water projects. It solves the complexity of managing distributed meter networks by providing a unified interface for data collection, device lifecycle management, and customer engagement.

✨ Highlights

Transform your utility operations with the Water Metering solution template. Designed for municipalities, sub-metering providers, and building managers, this solution bridges the gap between infrastructure management and customer data sharing. 🏙️🚿

Press Install to generate a complete Supplier/Rental metering ecosystem — populated with demo devices, multi-customers, and pre-configured analytics.

📦 What’s inside the box?

We have auto-generated a comprehensive utility platform for you:

  • 🛠️ Tenant Command Center: A centralized dashboard for administrator to provision devices, monitor city-wide consumption, and manage the customer database.
  • 👥 Supplier/Rental Workflow: Built-in logic allows you to create Customers, automatically generate User accounts, and assign/unassign meters to them instantly.
  • 🚨 Infrastructure Protection: Comprehensive rules protect your water meters by tracking Leakage, Device Inactivity, and Freezing conditions.
  • 🔀 Role-Based Alarm Routing: The system intelligently splits alerts. Technical (Low Battery, Inactivity) and Critical (Leakage) alerts go to your maintenance team, while Usage alerts go to the Customer.
  • 📊 Automated Metrics: Built-in Calculated Fields automatically convert raw “Pulse Counts” into Daily and Weekly consumption data for easy analysis, clear reporting, and potential billing automation.
  • 👤 Customer Transparency Portal: A dedicated, read-only dashboard where your end-users can track their own consumption and set personal usage alerts without accessing technical settings.

🌟 Why use this template?

  • 🤝 Built for Supplier Models: This solution supports a hierarchical model where You (the Utility/Landlord) manage the infrastructure, while Your Customers get a private view of their consumption.
  • 🛡️ Smart Alerting: Unnoticed leaks and dead batteries waste resources. The system splits alarms into two streams: Maintenance Alerts for your engineering team and Usage Alerts for your customers.
  • ⚡ From Pulses to Insights: Raw meter data (pulses) is difficult to analyze. This solution uses Calculated Fields to automatically aggregate it into Daily, and Weekly consumption values for clear reporting.

✨ Key Features

  • Multi-Customer Management: Create new customers and assign devices to them directly from the Admin Dashboard. The system handles the ownership transfer and permission scopes automatically.
  • Automated Device Assignment: Instantly move a meter from your “Warehouse” (Tenant) to a “Client” (Customer) using the built-in edit actions.
  • Intelligent Routing: “Leakage” and “Inactivity” alerts are routed to the Tenant Admin, while “High Weekly Consumption” alerts are shared with the Customer to help them manage their property.

🌍 Real-World Applications

This template serves as a robust foundation for various sectors:

  • 🏙️ Municipal Utilities: Automate meter reading (AMR) and provide citizens with a transparency portal to monitor their usage.

  • 🏢 Commercial Real Estate: Implement sub-metering for tenant units in shopping malls or office parks, assigning specific meters to specific store owners.

  • 🏭 Industrial Facilities: Monitor water usage in manufacturing processes to detect inefficiencies or leaks instantly.
