Store description excerpt

Utilify is a live electric, gas, and water meter reader for your home. Plug a $30 RTL-SDR USB radio into an Android phone, tablet, or PC and Utilify turns it into a real-time readout of the smart meters your utility already installed. Your meters are constantly broadcasting on the ISM radio band; Utilify just listens and decodes the packets (ERT, SCM, and IDM) into real numbers on your phone, tablet, or PC. No utility-company login. No cloud account. TWO WAYS TO START • No hardware, free: snap a photo of any utility bill and Utilify reads the usage and rate off it, tracks your per-kWh / per-therm cost, and charts your spend — all on-device. • Add the $30 USB radio: every reading goes live. kWh, therms, and gallons update as your meter reports them, instead of once a month on a bill. A utility meter reader in your pocket: utility meter reading made simple, with electric meter reading, gas meter reading, and water meter reading from one app — no manual logging, no photographing the dial. WHAT YOU GET • Live kWh, therms, and gallons as your meter reports them — no waiting for next month's bill. • Per-day usage, cost, and temperature charts with a peak-hour heatmap so you can see exactly when your spend happens. • "Days Like Today" — see how today's electric and gas usage stacks up against past days that hit the same temperature high, hour by hour, so a hot day is judged against other hot days instead of mild ones. • A photo-scan bill importer that reads usage and rate off any utility bill and updates your per-kWh / per-therm cost automatically. • Multi-address support: track your home, a rental, or a parent's place, each with its own electric, gas, and water meters. • Everything stored locally on the listener device — readings never leave your network unless you turn on Pro remote viewing. A METER READER FOR EVERY UTILITY • Electric meter reader — live kWh and power usage from your electricity meter. • Gas meter reader — live therms and cubic feet from your gas meter. • Water meter reader — live gallons from your water meter. Whether you want electric meter reading, gas meter reading, or water meter reading, Utilify decodes them all into one dashboard. WHAT YOU NEED For bill scanning and cost tracking: nothing — just this app. For live readings: a small USB radio called an RTL-SDR. The "RTL-SDR Blog V4" model works great and runs about $30 on Amazon. Plug it into a phone (Android, with a USB-OTG cable), tablet, Linux PC, Windows PC, or Mac and start listening. iPhone and iPad work as remote viewers but cannot listen directly — iOS does not allow third-party USB SDR access. Run the listener on any of the above and pair the iPhone as a viewer with a single QR scan. WORKS BEST IN US & CANADA Utilify decodes the ERT, SCM, and IDM packet formats used by Itron and similar smart meters across North America. Meters in Europe and most of Asia use different (often encrypted) protocols and won't decode — please confirm your local meter type before subsc
