AMR Metering Interface · v3.2

An operational console for your AMR meter fleet.

Kilowatic is the platform energy suppliers use to run comms tests, validate credentials, audit firmware and pull configuration off live AMR meters — over 3G, 4G, or legacy CSD — one at a time in the field, or thousands in parallel from the back office.

Capabilities

One platform for every AMR operation.

From a post-install check on a tablet to an overnight password audit across thousands of meters, every job runs through the same engine and the same four-state outcome model.

Comms tests across every link type

Verify the wireless link to any AMR meter — modern 3G/4G IP, or legacy CSD modem — on a single console. Field engineers confirm installs in seconds; ops staff sweep entire projects in parallel and feed every result back into the same outcome model.

Password validation

K-auth challenge-response against stored credentials, custom passwords and rotating alternate-credential pools. Matches repair the meter record automatically.

L2+ · TEA cipher

Firmware checks

Read firmware string and model version straight from the meter. Spot drift, flag vulnerable builds, target rollouts with confidence.

L3+ · EDMI Mk10 / Mk10A

Configuration download

Pull the live configuration off a meter for audit, archival or before/after comparison. Every readout is timestamped in PostgreSQL.

L3+ · Read-only

Bulk fleet jobs

Queue thousands of meters across projects. A dual-semaphore engine keeps IP links saturated while respecting serial and CSD hardware limits.

Live progress · Auto-retry

Role-based access

Five access tiers separate field engineers, ops analysts, power users and admins. Every action is authenticated, authorised, audited.

L1 → L5 · Org-scoped

Reports & export, the way auditors expect

Slice results by project, date range, outcome class or firmware version. Download a one-off CSV, XLSX or PDF, or schedule a recurring report straight into your auditors' inboxes — signed and tamper-evident if you need to hand it to a regulator.

Field & back office

From a tablet on site to a sweep at 03:00.

Kilowatic is one platform for two audiences — the engineer finishing an install, and the analyst running the audit. Same data model, same outcome classification, no separate tools.

  1. Engineer finishes an install

    Opens Kilowatic, picks the meter they just hung, hits Test. Green tick in under three seconds, logged against the install record.

  2. Sweeps run overnight

    Ops queues a password audit across 3,000 meters. Kilowatic rotates credentials, repairs stored records, flags the outliers.

  3. Everything is captured

    Comms, password, firmware, and config readouts all land in PostgreSQL with a permanent, queryable audit trail.

  4. Dashboards reflect reality

    Four-state outcomes — connected, alt-creds, auth-failed, unreachable — flow straight into your existing BI.

Access tiers

A role for every kind of user.

Login level decides what each user can see and do. Field engineers get a focused view; bulk operations, credential management and user administration each sit behind their own door.

Walkthrough

A different workspace for each tier.

Kilowatic renders a different workspace depending on access level. Pick a role to preview the screen a user actually sees when they sign in — sample data shown for illustration.

Manufacturer agnostic

Kilowatic talks to the meters already on your network — no fleet standardisation required to get started.

Observe without interfering.

Auditors, compliance staff and junior analysts land on a results-only view. They can drill into historic comms tests, firmware snapshots and configuration captures — but nothing they do opens a connection to a live meter.

  • Search historic comms, password & firmware results
  • Export CSVs for reporting
  • All test and management actions are hidden

L2 · Engineer

One meter. One test. In the field.

Engineers on site need a simple, zero-ambiguity tool: pick the meter just installed, hit Test connection, and get a green tick or a clear reason why. Bulk jobs are intentionally hidden — no risk of accidentally sweeping the fleet from a tablet.

  • Single-meter connection test (3G/4G/CSD)
  • Post-install validation in under five seconds
  • Result is stored against the install record automatically
  • Bulk operations and credentials are not exposed

Sweep the fleet. Rotate credentials. Capture config.

Back-office operations get the full bulk-test console: select a project, filter by status, and queue hundreds or thousands of meters for comms checks, password audits, firmware reads or configuration downloads — with live progress and the four-state outcome model.

  • Bulk comms sweeps across any filter set
  • Password validation with credential rotation
  • Firmware checks and configuration downloads
  • Live job progress and retry-queue visibility

L4 · Power user

Curate the portfolio & credential vault.

Power users own the fleet record: onboarding new installs, correcting stale endpoints, retiring decommissioned meters, and maintaining the alternate-credential pool that keeps password audits self-healing. Everything is scoped to their organisation's licence.

  • Add, edit and delete meters individually or via CSV import
  • Create and organise projects across comms types
  • Manage alternate credentials used by password rotation
  • Cannot create or elevate other users (L5 only)

Govern the organisation.

Admins control who can sign in, what level they sign in at, and when their sessions expire. They review the full audit trail of every action under the organisation's licence, and rotate their own API keys.

  • Create, edit, suspend & delete users
  • Assign access levels (L1–L5) and reset passwords
  • Organisation-wide session and licence dashboard
  • Immutable audit log with export and retention controls
