Urjanet Utility Cloud allows you to capture and measure your energy consumption.

Data Structure

The data model has several resources:

  • Credentials: the credentials used to connect an end-user’s utility account(s).
  • Accounts: distinct tradelines within the end-user’s utility credential.
  • Statements and Payments: distinct transactions for a specific account.
    • Statement: invoices issued by the utility
    • Payment: payments made by the account owner to their utility. Each level has a one-to-many relationship with the level beneath it.
  • Meters: one or more devices that record consumption on a utility invoice.
    • Usages: consumption of a specific utility service.
    • Charges: cost of the utility service that is typically driven by usage quantities. 
  • Sites: enables grouping meters by a location or another logical grouping for your system.
