Email & CSV Delivery
Available from the Starter plan.
The Email CSV connection type automatically sends the readings from your meters as a CSV file by email — on a schedule you choose. This is well suited for controlling, accounting, or any system that processes tabular data via attachments.
Set Up a Connection
- Go to Delivery → Connections → New Connection.
- Select the type Email (CSV).
- Configure the connection:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Recipients | One or more email addresses (comma-separated) |
| Subject | Email subject line (supports placeholders such as {date}) |
| Schedule | Daily, weekly, or monthly |
| Time | Time of delivery (local time) |
- Assign the meters you want under Routes.
File Format
The CSV file is UTF-8 encoded and uses a semicolon (;) as the delimiter — compatible with Microsoft Excel and LibreOffice Calc.
Included columns: timestamp, meter_id, value_kwh, unit, quality.
When to Use Email CSV
Email CSV is a good fit when:
- a recipient without a technical setup needs regular reports,
- a downstream system imports CSV files via email,
- a time-controlled delivery is sufficient (rather than a push when data becomes available).
For automatic delivery as soon as new data arrives, use Webhooks or MQTT.
