Control
Every meter, every machine, one live reading.
Meter Live pulls data from your main incomer, sub-meters, DG sets, solar inverters and machine controllers into one live tree: site, building, line, machine. You see where each kilowatt goes second by second, not at the end of the billing cycle.

What Meter Live does on a working day.
Load tree
Model the site as incomer, panels, feeders and machines. Unmetered loads are shown as the difference, so gaps are visible instead of hidden.
Uses your meters
Most smart meters, PLCs and BMS points already speak Modbus or BACnet. We map them in a day and suggest add-on meters only where a gap costs money.
Power quality
Power factor, voltage imbalance and harmonics are tracked beside consumption, with flags before a PF penalty lands on the bill.
Context channels
Production counts, occupancy, ambient temperature and shift calendars sit on the same timeline, so a spike always has a reason attached.
Offline-safe
The edge gateway buffers readings locally and back-fills the cloud when the link returns. No holes in the month-end data.
Open export
Download any series as CSV or pull it through the REST API into your historian, ERP or BI tool.
How it goes live at your site.
- 1
Map
Share your single-line diagram and meter list. We build the load tree and tag every channel.
- 2
Connect
Plug the gateway into the meter network or point us at your BMS. Readings appear the same day.
- 3
Validate
We reconcile sub-meters against the main incomer and the utility bill so the totals agree.
- 4
Watch
Live dashboards per site, building, line and machine, on desktop, wall screen and phone.
About Meter Live
Usually not. We work with existing smart meters, multifunction meters and PLC tags. If a feeder that matters is unmetered, we recommend a specific add-on meter and show what it will reveal before you buy it.
Yes. If your BMS or SCADA already collects the points, we read from it over BACnet, OPC UA or Modbus TCP and avoid duplicate wiring.
The gateway keeps logging locally for up to 72 hours and uploads the backlog once the connection returns.
Yes, where a machine has a meter or a controller that reports power. Many compressors, chillers and VFDs expose this directly.
