⚠️ Note about Photos in CSV Export:
• The CSV file contains a "Photo Available" column with "Yes" or "No"
• This is only an indicator whether a photo exists for the reading
• The photos themselves (image files) are NOT exported
• For complete backups including photos, use the Backup function

Export as PDF

👑 Premium Feature: PDF export is only available in the Premium version.

1 Open a meter's detail view

4 The PDF file will be created and can be shared or saved

📄 PDF Content: The PDF contains a professional overview with meter data, trend chart, and all readings in table format.

Import Data (CSV)

You can import readings from CSV files. The app automatically recognizes the meter name from the filename and creates the meter if it doesn't exist.

Import CSV File

1 Open Settings

2 Tap "Import from CSV"

3 Select the CSV file from your device

4 The app imports the data automatically:

Meter name is recognized from filename
Meter is created if it doesn't exist
All readings are imported
Duplicates (same date) are skipped

5 After successful import, you'll see a confirmation with the number of imported readings

Filename is Important!

📋 Meter Name from Filename: The filename becomes the meter name!

How it works:
• File extension .csv is removed
• Timestamp at the end (e.g., _20260101_183712 ) is removed if present
• Underscores ( _ ) become spaces

Examples:
• electricity_meter.csv → Meter: "electricity meter"
• apartment_meter.csv → Meter: "apartment meter"
• power_-_feed_in_20260101_183712.csv → Meter: "power - feed in"

⚠️ Important: Name your CSV file as you want your meter to be called!

CSV File Format

The CSV file must have the following structure:

Columns (in this order):

Date- Format: dd.MM.yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy (Required)
Reading- Numeric value (Required)
Unit- ignored
Consumption- ignored
Note- optional, will be imported

15.11.2025,4892.00,kWh,842.00,High consumption,No

✅ Notes:
• Header row is automatically skipped

• Duplicates: Same meter + same date = will be skipped
• Meter is automatically created if it doesn't exist

⚠️ Limitations:
• Only one meter per CSV file possible
