How does the integration work?

The integration of Engelmann metering with Zero Friction’s billing platform works through the following steps:

‍

1. Data collection: Engelmann meters measure heating and cooling energy consumption, collecting precise data.
2. Data transmission: The collected data is compiled into .csv files.
3. Data reception: Zero Friction’s billing platform receives the .csv files, ensuring seamless integration with minimal configuration.
4. Data processing: The billing platform processes the .csv data, applying necessary conversions and calculations for accurate billing.
5. Billing generation: The platform generates detailed billing reports based on the processed data, accessible through the Zero Friction interface.
6. Automation and notifications: Users can set consumption thresholds and receive automated alerts if these are exceeded, aiding proactive energy management.
