Electricity

Prepaid electricity,
straight to the meter.

Residents buy power on their phones and supported meters top up on their own. You see every token, and control supply remotely.

Under the hood

How a token reaches the meter.

Every purchase follows the same rule: the payment is confirmed first, then exactly one token is issued for it.

Electricity

  1. 01Payment verified

    We confirm the payment with our payment partner before anything is issued.

  2. 02Token generated

    The meter's vending system creates a token for the exact amount paid.

  3. 03Sent to the meter

    On supported meters the token travels over the meter's network connection.

  4. 04Units credited

    The meter tops up on its own. Nobody types anything.

Remote meter management

Precise control, with a record of every action.

Check a meter's status, read it remotely and change its supply without sending someone to site, on meters that support it.

Questions

Questions about electricity.

Which electricity meters are supported?

Smart prepaid meters from the meter makers we integrate with. We confirm compatibility during the site visit.

What if the meter is offline when a token is bought?

The token is still shown to the buyer so it can be typed on the meter's keypad, and the meter shows as offline in the dashboard.

Who can disconnect a supply?

Authorised admins and the landlord who owns the meter, from the dashboard. Every command is logged with who sent it and when.
