Portfolios: Your Estate-Wide View
Where to find it: Log in → you land on the Portfolio dashboard
SmarterView is designed to move from overview to detail in just a few clicks.
Once logged in, you'll land on your SmarterView dashboard, which shows data for your specific space or unit. This dashboard gives you:
-
Live and historical electricity, gas and/or water usage
-
Visibility of the meters and sensors installed in your space
-
A clear view of how utilities are being used over time
Devices: Meter and Sensor Detail
What it shows:
-
Electricity, gas and water meters
-
Device health, signal strength and battery levels
-
Online/offline status
-
Entry point for alerts, pricing and data analysis
Why this matters:
Organisations using real-time energy visibility platforms consistently uncover 10–20% efficiency opportunities simply by understanding how energy is actually used — not how it's assumed to be used.
A multi-site commercial operator using live dashboards identified that several locations had high overnight baseloads caused by legacy equipment. Addressing this alone delivered immediate cost reductions without capital investment.
Device Health and Reliability
Where to find it: Portfolio → Site → Devices
Here you can instantly see:
-
Battery levels
-
Signal strength
-
Connection status
-
Last health check
This ensures your data remains reliable and uninterrupted.
Live Data & the TV Dashboard
Where to find it: Portfolio → Site → TV Dashboard
The TV dashboard provides:
-
Real-time electricity, gas and water consumption
-
Live renewable generation data (where applicable)
-
Visibility of energy offset by renewables
-
Comparison against averages
This is ideal for control rooms, facilities teams and shared operational visibility.
Why this matters:
A leisure and hospitality group using live dashboards noticed sudden consumption spikes during trading hours. This allowed them to immediately investigate faulty HVAC controls, preventing prolonged waste and guest disruption.
Understanding Usage Through Graphs
Where to find it: Portfolio → Site → Device → Graphs
Available insights include:
-
Electricity usage (kWh by phase)
-
Gas usage (m³, convertible to kWh)
-
Hourly and daily consumption
-
Consumption vs demand (kVA)
These graphs help identify:
-
Inefficient operating hours
-
Unusual spikes
-
Reactive power issues
Consumption Vs. Demand
This comparison highlights when demand increases without useful work, which can:
-
Increase supply capacity charges
-
Trigger penalty fees
-
Stress electrical equipment
Setting Prices
Where to find it: Portfolio → Site → Device → Prices
Once prices are entered:
-
Consumption automatically converts to cost
-
Financial and operational teams see the same picture
Alerts and Prevention
Where to find it: Portfolio → Site → Device → Configure Alerts
Alerts can notify you of:
-
High consumption
-
Unexpected demand spikes
-
Devices going offline
-
Out-of-hours usage
Why this matters:
A manufacturing site using demand monitoring identified short, recurring demand spikes caused by simultaneous machine start-ups. Adjusting schedules avoids excess capacity charges — delivering annual savings without reducing output.
Exporting Data
Where to find it: Portfolio → Site → Device → Graph → Export
Export include:
-
Time-stamped readings
-
Phase-level data
-
Consumption and demand values
Supporting audits & sustainability
Accurate data supports:
-
