Reading and Transmitting Meter Readings via QR Code and QRoot Cam
14/02/2025
Currently, there are many types of energy in the world, and each type has its own dedicated meter.
Often, each type of energy has a specific supplier with a website where the readings must be submitted.
Our QR code generation service, QRoot.app, and the advanced QRoot Cam with recognition capabilities help solve this challenge.
This improves measurement efficiency, leading to cost savings and conservation of natural resources.
Types of Energy Meters
By Type of Measured Energy:
🔹 Electric meters – measure electricity consumption.
🔹 Heat meters – track thermal energy consumption (e.g., in heating systems).
🔹 Gas meters – record gas consumption.
🔹 Water meters – measure the amount of consumed water (hot or cold).
By Data Transmission Method:
🔹 Mechanical (offline) – require manual reading entry.
🔹 Smart meters – transmit data remotely via Wi-Fi, GSM, QRoot Meter, or other technologies.

Solution for Mechanical Meters
If you have a mechanical meter, we offer a solution based on our QR code generator.
How It Works:
- Visit our website:
https://qroot.app/qr-code-generator/text - Enter the serial number of your meter.
- Print and attach the QR code to the meter (preferably near it).
- When you need to take readings, launch the webcam at:
https://qroot.app/cam
(A flashlight option is available for better visibility.) - Scan the QR code – this allows our system to recognize the meter’s serial number.
- Point the camera at the meter’s display.
- AI-powered recognition reads the consumption data from the meter.
- Our system calculates the difference from the previous period, allowing you to track trends and optimize energy consumption.
- Click "Submit Readings."
- The readings will be sent to the pre-defined server of the energy supplier.
