Meter information can be automatically imported to an eMaint X3 account through email sent from your metering equipment. When your equipment sends the data to our mail server, in the format listed below, your meters will reflect the most current meter information; without having to manually input data.
Below is an example of an auto-meter via email entry. It consists of 6 lines (1 line for each press). Each line consists of 4 comma separated values:
