The Meter Map on the Location Details page shows all meters linked to a specific location. This section is located on the Details tab of a location.
This component is important for operational follow-up, data quality and monitoring of measuring infrastructure.
Overview – What does this section show?
The Meter Map displays a table of all meters linked to the current location. Only meters that are historically or currently connected to this location are displayed.
Information is shown per meter about:
identification and type
status in relation to this location
installation period
recency of received measurement data
The visibility of this map depends on user permissions and whether meters are linked to the location.
Layout
General table structure
Each row in the table represents one meter that is (or was) associated with the location.

Meter type
Zero Friction supports 4 different meter types, each with a different purpose.
An individual meter is the most commonly used meter type. It's a single meter for a single address, storing the measurements for that individual address.
An aggregating meter is a meter type that stores the measurements of an entire building/project of a location group.
A common meter is a type of meter that stores the measurements of the common areas of a building, such as the hallway or stairs.
An external meter is a meter that has been installed by an external party outside the organization and from which individual meters have been derived.

Filtering by location
The system only shows meters linked to the current location. Meters currently installed at a different location are displayed here as Removed.
Status determination
The status is determined based on the status history of the meter in relation to this location.
Determination of the period
The period shows the installation period of the meter at this location
If a meter has been installed and removed multiple times, the most recent installation period will be shown
Last received measurement data
The date is determined based on the most recent data across all channels of the meter
If no channel has received data, “Never” is displayed
