Chargee meter readers are added through Chargee’s cloud. Your user scans the code on the side of the reader, and Plugchoice reads the meter through Chargee. Nothing runs on the phone, so this works the same in your app and in a browser.

Adding a meter reader

1

The model

Your user picks their reader by its picture.
2

The code

The QR code is on the side of the reader. Your user scans it with the phone’s camera, or types the code on the sticker. In a browser, they type it.

The first readings

Link waits until Chargee has a reading from the meter. When there is none, it says why, for example that the reader isn’t in the P1 port. Then it asks for the main fuse when the site has no load balancing yet.
What to know:
  • Chargee shares the meter first. Plugchoice knows a Chargee reader once Chargee has shared it. A code Plugchoice doesn’t know yet says so (meter-not-found), and your user can check the code and try again.
  • One account per meter. A reader that’s already connected to another account stays there (identity-taken).
  • The reader’s own setup (its Wi-Fi, its place on the P1 port) happens in the Chargee app, before or after Link.
