Metering, made visible
Live meter data becomes clear, per-apartment bills. Residents see their own usage in realtime, managers see every meter in the building at a glance, and billing runs from real reads — not estimates.
-
Read
A secure onsite node polls every meter over BACnet, Modbus, M-Bus or EDMI — electricity, water, gas, AC and EV.
-
Check
Offline meters, estimated reads and suspect jumps are flagged for review before they reach a bill.
-
Bill
Per-apartment bills from actual consumption on your cycle, on flat, tiered or time-of-use rates.

PDF statements with line-item usage, plus CSV export for your accounts package.
Everything between the meter and the statement
Device monitoring
Connect BACnet, Modbus, M-Bus and EDMI meters. Monitor status and readings in real time.
Rate schedules
Flat, tiered, time-of-use, and demand-based pricing structures.
Automated billing
Bills per unit from actual consumption, on your cycle — monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly in arrears. Every apartment, every period, without a spreadsheet.
Secure site node
On-site gateway handles meter polling and sends readings to Automated Life over an authenticated channel — no meter ever exposed to the public internet.
Statements, ready to send
Per-apartment PDF statements with line-item consumption and rates, plus CSV export for your accounts package.
Meter health, surfaced
Offline meters and estimated reads show up on the console the moment they happen — billing runs on live data, never silent guesses.
Caught at two hours, not two months
Each apartment's water use is compared with its own normal over the past two weeks, and the resident is warned on their phone. It runs on the same water meters you already bill from.
If your internet drops, your meters keep reading.
Critical building systems — utility metering, BMS integration, and IoT devices — run through an onsite node inside your building's network. Data is processed locally first, then synced to the cloud over encrypted channels.

Which meters can you read?
BACnet, Modbus, M-Bus and EDMI meters, polled by a secure onsite node — electricity, water, gas, AC and EV. Something else on site? We fit the solution to your building. If your meters use another protocol, we'll add support.
Which billing cycles and rates are supported?
Bills per unit from actual consumption, monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly in arrears — on flat, tiered, time-of-use, or demand-based rates.
Are any meters exposed to the internet?
No. Readings are ingested via a secure on-site node, so no meter is ever exposed to the public internet.
What happens to offline meters and estimated reads?
They're flagged for review before they reach a bill, and they show up on the console the moment they happen.
