HomeMeter: Meter & Costs

Where is your money actually going? HomeMeter turns your meter readings into real numbers: usage, costs and CO2 for electricity, water, gas, heating, solar and your EV charger - all in one place.

No account. No server. No ads. Your data stays encrypted on your device.

LOG A READING IN SECONDS
• Read the meter, type it in, done - pick any date, including past ones
• Enter a meter reading or a plain amount, switch any time
• Warning when a value is lower than the one before
• Meter replaced? No problem, the history stays correct
• Bulk entry for a whole group on one date
• Edit or delete any past reading, the history recalculates itself
• Reminder to read your meters so the end of the month never slips

COSTS THAT ADD UP
• Contracts with a price history ("valid from") instead of one flat price
• Standing charge and advance payment per contract period
• Multi-part tariffs: fresh water and waste water billed separately
• A garden water meter is deducted from waste water properly
• Prepayment status: paid versus actual cost - credit or shortfall at a glance
• Yearly projection so the annual bill never catches you off guard
• Household costs without a meter too (internet, streaming, insurance) including a cancellation reminder

CHARTS AND STATISTICS
• Dashboard with monthly cost and a yearly forecast
• Itemised cost breakdown like a receipt, grouped by area
• Year-over-year comparison, cost per month, share per category
• Tap any slice of the chart to drill down to the meters behind it
• Income and savings as their own evaluation
• CO2 estimate per data point, green tariffs taken into account
• Every chart follows the period you pick, so the numbers always agree

SOLAR AND BALCONY PV
• Track generation, self-consumption, feed-in and battery
• Solar benefit: what your system actually saves and earns
• Payback: when your system breaks even
• EV charger and heat pump as their own meters

YOUR DATA IS YOURS
• Encrypted database on the device (SQLCipher/AES)
• No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads
• App lock via PIN or fingerprint
• Password-protected backup that stays in your hands
• Optionally to your own cloud via WebDAV or SFTP - no third party in between

SET UP IN FIVE MINUTES
• A setup wizard walks you through meters, tariffs and advance payments
• Catalogue of ready-made data points: electricity, water, gas, heating, solar, EV charger and more
• Rename anything, sort it into groups
• Sample data to try it out without typing your own values first
• CSV import if you have been keeping a spreadsheet so far

WHO IT IS FOR
For tenants who want to check the annual utility statement. For owners who want to stay on top of things. For solar owners who want to know what the system brings in. For everyone who has been tracking readings in a spreadsheet or on a note stuck to the fridge. HomeMeter does not produce a landlord's statement - it gives you your own numbers to check theirs against.
