Accessing Water Data​

  1. Open the stromleser app
  2. Select your wasserleser device from the device list
  3. View your current water consumption on the main screen

Real-time Consumption​

Your wasserleser continuously monitors water flow and displays:

  • Current flow rate - Water usage at this moment
  • Today's consumption - Total water used today
  • Current meter reading - The current reading from your water meter

Consumption History​

The app displays your water consumption graphically, allowing you to track usage patterns over time.

Viewing Historical Data​

  1. Tap on the consumption chart
  2. Select your preferred time range:
    • Daily: Hour-by-hour consumption
    • Weekly: Day-by-day comparison
    • Monthly: Weekly totals
    • Yearly: Month-by-month overview

Understanding Your Data​

Consumption Metrics​

The app provides several useful metrics:

  • Total consumption: Cumulative water usage since initial reading
  • Average daily usage: Typical consumption per day
  • Peak usage times: When you use the most water
  • Comparison data: Compare current period to previous periods

Cost Tracking​

If you've configured water tariffs, the app also shows:

  • Estimated costs for the current period
  • Cost trends over time
  • Projected monthly/yearly costs
