Need to enter a meter reading manually, upload data collected outside the portal, or import historical values into Mestro? This article shows you how — whether it's a single value or a full dataset.
Manual data entry is common for meters that aren't read remotely, for media types like water or waste, or when you're getting started with Mestro and want to load in historical readings. You can also use it to fill in a missing value on an automatic meter if a reading was not collected.
Upload data via your smartphone or computer.
The foundation of your analysis and monitoring via Mestro Portal is that the system has your properties' usage in a data format. Much is collected automatically from distribution companies and your suppliers, but some you must upload yourself. For example, water and waste data collected prior to your use of Mestro Portal needs to be uploaded manually. Contact your Customer Success Manager if you are unsure of what to upload!
There are three ways to upload data to the portal; via the edit menu, an Excel template or via Mestro input. I will describe each in order below.

If you have employees that regularly read manual meters we recommend you to use Mesto Input- our app for recording values with your smart phone. Click the link to read more about it!
