With interactive analytics and automated bill processing, you can manage electricity, water, gas, and heating meters from one intuitive platform. New to the category? See our overview of utility tracking software for how it fits into a broader property management workflow.

  1. Set Up Locations & Meters

    Create locations for your properties and add meters for electricity, water, gas, or heating. Configure each meter with units, costs, and descriptions.

  2. Record Readings

    Enter meter readings manually or import bulk data via CSV. The system automatically calculates daily consumption using interpolation.

  3. Analyze & Get Insights

    View interactive charts showing consumption trends and costs. Ask the chat assistant questions about your usage patterns, or upload bills for automatic comparison with meter readings.

  4. Export & Optimize

    Export data to CSV for reporting or integration. Use insights to identify cost-saving opportunities and optimize your utility consumption.

How to use UtilityControl for meter monitoring

Five steps from an empty account to consumption reports you can act on.

  1. Set Up Locations

    Create locations (buildings, properties, facilities) and add relevant details such as address and location type. Locations serve as containers for organizing related meters.

  2. Add Meters

    For each location, add meters with details including meter name, type (electricity, water, gas, heating), unit of measurement, cost per unit, currency, and meter number. Configure each meter according to your tracking needs.

  3. Record Readings

    Enter meter readings manually through the web interface or import bulk readings via CSV. Each reading includes the meter value, date/time, and optional notes. Readings can be edited or deleted as needed.

  4. Analyze & Visualize

    View interactive charts showing usage over time, daily consumption patterns, and cost trends. Filter by time periods (week, month, 2 months, 3 months, year) to analyze specific ranges. The system automatically calculates daily usage using interpolation between readings.

  5. Export & Report

    Export meter readings to CSV for reporting, backup, or integration with accounting systems. Use the data to generate consumption reports, identify trends, and make informed decisions about utility usage optimization.

What is UtilityControl?

UtilityControl is a utility meter monitoring and management system designed for tracking consumption, analyzing usage patterns, and calculating costs across multiple locations. It supports electricity, water, gas, and heating meters with analytics and automated bill processing with OCR.

How does the chat assistant work in UtilityControl?

Yes. UtilityControl includes a chat assistant (AI-based) that lets you ask questions about your utility consumption in plain language, such as 'What's my usage this month?' or 'Which meter costs the most?', and answers from your actual meter data.

Can UtilityControl automatically extract data from utility bills?

Yes, UtilityControl uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to automatically extract key information from utility bills. Simply upload a photo or PDF of your bill, and the system extracts dates, amounts, usage values, account numbers, and billing periods. The system then checks consistency between your bills and meter readings.

What types of meters does UtilityControl support?

UtilityControl supports electricity, water, gas, and heating meters. Each meter can be configured with custom names, units of measurement, meter numbers, and descriptions. The system can track any utility type that uses cumulative readings.

How does the daily usage calculation work?

UtilityControl uses advanced interpolation algorithms to calculate daily usage even when readings aren't taken every day. The system distributes consumption between reading dates, providing accurate daily usage estimates for trend analysis.

Can I import meter readings from CSV files?

Yes, UtilityControl supports CSV import for efficient bulk data entry. You can also export readings to CSV for backup, reporting, or integration with accounting systems. Dates use the DD.MM.YYYY format (time optional), numbers can be in European or US notation, and any rows that cannot be read are reported after the import.

What analytics features are available?

UtilityControl provides three powerful chart types: Usage Over Time (linear time axis), Daily Usage (bar chart with interpolated values), and Daily Cost (cost visualization). You can filter by week, month, 2 months, 3 months, or year for flexible analysis.

Is UtilityControl available on mobile devices?

Yes, UtilityControl is available as an iOS app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. An Android version is coming soon. The web application is also accessible from any browser, and all platforms sync seamlessly.

How does cost tracking work?

You can configure cost per unit and currency for each meter. The system automatically calculates daily costs based on daily usage and the configured cost per unit, allowing you to visualize cost trends alongside usage patterns.

How accurate is the OCR bill extraction?

UtilityControl uses Google Cloud Vision API and automated parsing for high accuracy OCR extraction. The system provides confidence scores for extracted data and allows manual review and correction. For bills with low confidence scores, the system flags them for review.
