Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Understand your energy usage with pixometer With our pixometer App, you’ll get a grasp of your energy usage. Scan your meter using the camera of your mobile device – just as simple as a barcode. pixometer will even read the result to you aloud. Register a free pixometer account so you can edit the provided example meters in the pixometer portal (https://pixometer.io/portal/) to match your actual meters. In this way you can also save all your readings with date, time and a photo proof. You can use the same account on multiple devices to get synced data. Sharing an account with your family makes everyone participate. When scanning your meter with the pixometer app on a regular basis, you’ll soon get an understanding of your energy usage. You can also use the app to snap your meter reading if your tariff is about to change or if you need a proof for other reasons. The pixometer app recognizes mechanical counters (single and double tariff) as well as digital LCD meters. If the scan mode does not automatically snap a picture, tap the capture button to take a picture and enter the reading manually. Our algorithms will learn from all saved images (anonymously) so that the next update will deliver improved recognition performance.

pixometer APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the pixometer APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 04b4b73db478ae1eee8f9d87bb66179b.
