Wattwatchers Energy Monitor Setup

This configuration may involve copying and pasting values between two applications, which may be more easily completed using a computer (rather than a smart phone).

You can log in to the Charge HQ app in your web browser via https://app.chargehq.net/

Important

Before starting configuration - please check your device compatibility and supported configurations.

Overview of the process:

  • Step 1 - obtain your Wattwatchers Device ID
  • Step 2 - submit a request to Wattwatchers to grant access to Charge HQ. This may take several days to complete.

  • Submit a support request here
  • Select "I have questions about the Wattwatchers API"
  • Set description to "I want to use Charge HQ, and grant them access to my data. My device ID is <DD1111111111>"
