Frequently Asked Questions​

No! Most fields are optional. Only the device name is recommended. However, the more information you provide, the better you can keep track later.

No problem! You can leave this field empty. The basic function of the stromleser.one works even without a meter number.

Can I select multiple meter types?​

Yes, if needed you can select multiple options, e.g., if you have both a PV system and HT/NT tariffs.
