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

  • 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
