QR Codes to Help Subscribers Monitor Electricity Use Online

Non-smart electricity meters are being tagged with quick response codes to help subscribers monitor their consumption at any time of the day, the head of Science and Technology Department at the government-affiliated Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said.
“The ongoing plan to attach QR codes on power meters will enable consumers to manage their consumption better, as they can access their information online,” Hadi Modaqqeq was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
As soon as the personalized code is scanned with the help of an iPhone or Android device, all data related to that meter will be shown to the owner of the meter and they can see how much electricity they have used and how much they will be charged up to that moment, he added.
