What Does a P1 Meter Do?

A P1 meter is a device that you connect to the P1 port of your smart energy meter. This port is standard on almost all modern smart meters in the Netherlands. Through this port, the meter sends data about your electricity and gas consumption. This way, you always know exactly how much you are using.

The P1 meter reads this data live and sends it via Wi-Fi to the NextEnergy app. This allows you to track live on your smartphone or tablet:

• How much electricity you are currently consuming
• Based on the P1 meter, we show the total amount you draw or feed back. This is the difference between your consumption and the electricity from your solar panels
• Your daily, weekly, and monthly consumption history
• Whether there is high standby consumption or peak consumption

The P1 meter makes it possible to look very specifically at where and when you use energy. This way, you can discover, for example, that your dryer uses a lot of energy, or that your boiler unnecessarily uses electricity at night.
