Wi-Fi reading: reading meter data manually (guide)

Introduction

Wi-Fi reading is the easiest way to retrieve data from a Kiomda meter on site, when the box is not connected continuously (isolated site, network constraint, device not connected, or choice of one-off operation). This guide explains the process step by step, in a deliberately short and operational way, so that any agent or service provider can carry out a survey independently, without particular technical skills.

Concretely, the objective is twofold:

1. retrieve the statement from the meter via local Wi-Fi, then
2. send data to the platform as soon as the smartphone returns to the Internet (office, home, 4G/5G).

Who will this guide be useful for?

This guide is especially useful if you are:

• site manager (natural space, park, equipment, tourist site) and that you take surveys at regular intervals,
• community/technical service with installations in areas where connectivity is variable,
• service provider or manager who must carry out a field survey quickly, without immobilizing time on site,
• internal user Kiomda who wants to standardize the procedure and avoid handling errors.

Why use a Wi-Fi statement?

The Wi-Fi survey meets a very concrete need: do not depend on a permanent connection to use attendance data. You perform the operation on site in a few minutes, then the transfer takes place as soon as the phone is connected to the Internet.

It is also a good practice when:

• You want Do a spot check (e.g. validation of installation, verification of a period),
• you manage a site where connectivity is weak or intermittent,
• you prefer a simple mode of operation: visit the site + transfer later.
