Meter Minder

Homeowners' associations install smart meters on storage rooms, basements, pumps, lifts and EV chargers, and solar inverters with batteries — but the data stays scattered across vendor apps. Nobody notices a storage room that suddenly draws five times its usual load, or a heater left running every night, until the bill arrives.

At the end of every month someone still copies dozens of readings by hand into the association's accounting system. It is slow, error-prone, and a missed deadline pushes charges into the wrong period.

Meter Minder pulls everything into one place. Every ten minutes it polls the Tuya cloud for all smart meters and relays and the Deye cloud for the inverters, stores the history, and shows it on clean web pages: what is online and drawing power right now, consumption by day and month, inverter load, grid, battery and solar per phase, and a monthly forecast for every group of meters.

An analytics layer checks each meter against its own history and its peers: one-day spikes, constant night-time load, month-over-month growth and outliers in the group are flagged with a plain-language explanation. On the last day of the month the system calculates every storage-room reading and submits it to the accounting platform on its own — rounded down, never below the previous reading, and skipped when part of the energy is only an estimate.

Energy is counted carefully: devices with their own counter use exact deltas, relays use the kilowatt-hours they report, and gaps of up to a week are back-filled from the vendor's logs, so history survives restarts and device renames.
