Pixometer: Understanding Your Energy Usage
Pixometer is a free Android application developed by pixolus GmbH, which helps users understand their energy usage. With the app, users can easily scan their power, gas, or water meter using the camera of their mobile device. The app recognizes both mechanical counters and digital LCD meters. If the scan mode does not work, users can manually snap a picture and enter the reading.
To get started, users need to register a free account on the pixometer portal. They can then edit the example meters provided in the portal to match their actual meters. This way, users can save all their readings with date, time, and photo proof. The app also allows users to share their account with their family, enabling everyone to participate.
By scanning their meter regularly, users can get an understanding of their energy usage. The app also allows users to snap their meter reading if their tariff is about to change or if they need proof for other reasons. Additionally, the app's algorithms learn from all saved images anonymously so that the next update will deliver improved recognition performance.
Overall, Pixometer is an excellent app for anyone looking to track their energy usage and save on their bills.
