Property with electricity and heat / water
Configuration without automatic electricity billing
Advantage:
- No duplicate entry of tenant contracts required
Disadvantage:
-
No automatic billing for electricity
-
Electricity tariffs must be entered multiple times (per property)
3b. Electricity with or without e-mobility and multi-energy with one building.
Possible differences: For properties with electricity meters only and no multi-energy, the heat pump can be allocated directly to the apartments using an allocation key. With multi-energy, the heat pump is set up as a sub-meter (separate folder) so that a separate invoice is created, which must then be transferred as a cost factor in the VEWA configuration.
3b. Basic structure
Assigning the meters
Use drag and drop to add the relevant meters to the nodes.
Important information on assignment:
Electricity / heat / water
Only assign metering points directly to the billing units if the invoice recipient will later have to pay 100% of the consumption.
If you only want to assign a meter to part of an individual billing unit, move the meter into a node within the "Technical meters" ("Technische Zähler") node.
Later, such a meter can be distributed by percentage in Billing.
Examples:
-
Common area meter
-
Heat meter of a floor that serves 4 billing units
Charging stations with smart-me Pico / Zaptec / Easee
Do not assign charging stations directly to apartments; instead, create a separate billing unit for the charging station. This makes tenant changes easier to handle.
Charging stations from other manufacturers
Charging stations from other manufacturers are not managed or billed directly in smart-me. In this case, create a node for the e-mobility feeder and assign the feeder meter to the node. This gives you the total consumption for all charging stations.
3b. Detailed structure with meters
Finally, create the alarms for a connection failure.
This way you notice early when a meter fails and minimize the resulting gap in the measurement data.

Disclaimer:
For this configuration, an additional property for electricity only must be created, containing all apartments of the three buildings.
Only the electricity meters are assigned in this property.
Finally, create the alarms for a connection failure.
