Open Link for a meter
Create the client session withdevice_type: "meter" and the site the meter is for, then open Link with the add action as you would for a charger.
What each brand can do
Where the phone or browser can’t do a brand’s setup, Link leaves the brand out.
After the setup
Link waits until the meter’s first readings arrive, for at most three minutes. When the site has no load balancing yet, your user then gives the main fuse and the grid type, and load balancing starts with the chargers at the site. The result’sdevices hold { "type": "meter", "id": "…" }, as the link session does in devices and meter_ids. The readings start without your app: they go straight from the meter to Plugchoice.
Load balancing needs the Smart license on the chargers. Without it, the meter is added and measures nothing until they have it; your user is told so.
