This post illustrates how to enable the automated transmission of meter readings from your
Accuenergy AcuREV20XX meters to the Wattics Energy Analytics Dashboard in nine easy steps.
Accuenergy AcuREV20XX meters allow for automated data transmission via HTTP Post,
meaning that once the meter is given internet access it can be configured to send data to Wattics
without the need of additional hardware requirements such as a gateway device. The set up to
configure the meter to automatically push data to Wattics is extremely easy and can be carried
out in a few minutes following this step-by-step guide.
STEP 1: Request a Meter ID from Wattics
Each meter you wish to connect to Wattics requires a Meter ID as unique identifier. Unless your
meter has been pre-configured already with a unique Meter ID, you must request a new Meter ID
from Wattics via the Wattics Meter ID Request Form. One of our agents will be in touch shortly with
your new Meter ID needed to configure your meter.
