Set up Kamstrup Ready

With Kamstrup Ready, Evolo automatically retrieves meter data from your water meters so that it can be used in dashboards, reports, and energy monitoring (EOS).

Here's what you need before you start

  • Client ID, Client Secret, and Tenant—three keys that grant Evolo read access to the meter data. These are set up in Kamstrup’s READy Manager portal or can be requested from Kamstrup. Evolo requires read-only access.

  • The serial number of each meter to be connected.

How to set up the application

First, create a virtual data point for each value you want to retrieve (Configuration → Data Points, on a virtual interface).
Set the logging to “On change”: this will save a value every time the meter reports something new, typically once an hour.

  1. Go to Configuration → Applications and click Add.

  2. Select the gateway, and choose the Kamstrup Ready type.

  3. Enter the Client ID, Client Secret, and Tenant.

  4. Add one row for each value you want to retrieve: select the data point, enter the meter’s serial number in Meter ID, and select the type from the list.

  5. Save. The gateway will immediately retrieve the meter readings from the past 24 hours, and then new readings every hour.

Where can I find the Meter ID?

The Meter ID is the meter’s serial number. You’ll find it:

  • printed on the front of the meter itself

  • in READy Manager, where all meters are listed by serial number and address

How quickly is the data transmitted?

Evolo Checks every hour, but does not display data more recent than what Kamstrup itself has collected from the meter. If you see no values on the first day, it’s usually because the data hasn’t reached the meter yet—there’s nothing wrong with the setup.

Tip: Start with "Meter Reading"; that’s the value most people need. The other types can be added later by editing the application.
