Real-time smart-meter data as a managed service

From order to live smart-meter data. We handle the rest.

P1Plug brings real-time smart-meter data into your platform, without Wi-Fi, pairing or installation hassle for your customers. We run the whole chain: from ordering inside your own website or app to fulfilment, zero-touch activation and data that arrives on the right customer account.

The proposition

One integration. Everything after it, handled.

Smart-meter propositions often get stuck on everything around the device: sourcing, stock, shipping, onboarding and support. P1Plug takes over that operational chain, so you can offer real-time energy insight without becoming a hardware company.

  1. Ordering inside your proposition

    Customers request a P1Plug from your own website or app, as part of your offer. No separate web shop and no manual hand-offs.

  2. Fulfilment off your plate

    We assign, prepare and ship every device. You don’t hold stock or run logistics.

  3. Online as soon as it’s plugged in

    The device draws its power from the P1 port and connects over its own mobile connection. Your customer doesn’t set anything up.

  4. Live data on the right account

    Every device is linked to the right customer before it ships, so real-time data lands in the right place from the very first reading.

How it works

Five steps. Most of them are ours.

You integrate once, and your customer does two simple things: order and plug in. Everything in between, and everything after, is handled by P1Plug.

  1. 01

    Integrate

    You and your customer

    Add P1Plug to your proposition, website or app, once.

    P1Plug

    Provides the embeddable order flow and the data connection to your platform.

  2. 02

    Customer orders

    You and your customer

    Your customer requests a P1Plug in your own order flow.

    P1Plug

    Collects the order and the details needed for delivery and activation.

  3. 03

    We provision and ship

    You and your customer

    Nothing to do

    P1Plug

    Assigns a device, links it to the customer’s account and ships it.

  4. 04

    Plug in

    You and your customer

    Your customer plugs the device into the smart meter. No Wi-Fi, no pairing.

    P1Plug

    The device takes its power from the meter and comes online by itself.

  5. 05

    Data is live

    You and your customer

    Use real-time data in your own service.

    P1Plug

    Continuously routes the meter data to the correct customer account.

Installation

Installation, without the installation process.

Many connected devices turn your customer into their own IT department. P1Plug arrives ready to go: plug it into the smart meter and it’s connected.

What your customer no longer has to deal with

  • Wi-Fi passwords and weak signal at the meter cupboard
  • Router troubleshooting
  • Bluetooth pairing
  • Network settings and configuration
  • Manually linking a device to an account
Smart meter → P1Plug → Connected Smart meter P1 P1Plug Connected
Not needed
  • Wi-Fi
  • Pairing
  • Configuration
From the P1 port straight to a live connection, with no steps in between.

What that means for your business

  • Fewer onboarding steps

    Order, receive, plug in. There’s no set-up stage for customers to get stuck in.

  • Less customer friction

    Customers get to the value of your service without reading a manual first.

  • Lower support burden

    Without Wi-Fi or pairing, the connection questions that come with them disappear from your service desk.

  • Consistent in every household

    Installation doesn’t depend on your customer’s router, network or technical confidence.

Solution

A managed service, not a box of devices.

Buying connected hardware usually means inheriting all the work around it. With P1Plug you get the outcome, live data from the homes you serve, and we run the chain that produces it.

One integration, one partner for the entire chain.

Your side

One integration with your website, app or platform.

Run by P1Plug, end to end

  1. Order flow

    An ordering step that lives inside your own website or app, as part of your offer.

  2. Provisioning

    Every device is prepared and linked to the right customer before it ships.

  3. Supply and fulfilment

    Device sourcing, stock and order processing. Nothing for your team to manage.

  4. Shipping

    Delivery to your customer’s home, ready to plug in.

  5. Connectivity

    Built-in mobile connectivity, independent of your customer’s home network.

  6. Activation

    Zero-touch: the device comes online by itself once it’s plugged into the meter.

  7. Data routing

    Real-time readings delivered to the correct customer account in your platform.

Use cases

Built for organisations that serve many homes.

Real-time P1 data matters well beyond the energy bill. Choose your sector to see how P1Plug fits.

Energy suppliers EMS providers Installers Grid organisations Housing corporations

Energy suppliers

Make real-time insight part of your energy contract.

Why real-time P1 data
Live consumption and feed-in data powers the propositions customers increasingly look for: insight in the app, dynamic tariffs, smart charging and timely advice. It also gives you a more direct relationship with every connection.
What P1Plug takes off your plate
Device sourcing, logistics, customer onboarding and the connection support that usually follows a hardware roll-out.
What it could look like
Offer P1Plug as an option in your sign-up flow or app. Customers who opt in receive a device that’s already linked to their contract, and live data appears in your app once it’s plugged in.

EMS providers

Real-time grid-connection data for your energy management system.

Why real-time P1 data
Steering batteries, heat pumps and EV chargers well depends on knowing what’s happening at the grid connection right now, not on yesterday’s figures.
What P1Plug takes off your plate
Relying on the customer’s Wi-Fi for a critical data source, plus sourcing, shipping and linking meter devices to installations.
What it could look like
Add P1Plug to your system’s onboarding. The device ships already linked to the right installation, and meter data flows into your platform alongside your other inputs.

Installers

Give every installation a live data connection.

Why real-time P1 data
Real-time meter data shows how a heat pump, solar system or home battery actually performs after handover, and gives you a reason to stay in touch with your customer.
What P1Plug takes off your plate
Setting up Wi-Fi on site, return visits for Wi-Fi problems and keeping track of which device belongs to which address.
What it could look like
Order a P1Plug with every installation, or let your customer order one. On site, plugging it in is the whole job, and the data is linked to the right project.

Grid organisations

Real-time insight at the edge of the low-voltage grid.

Why real-time P1 data
As grid congestion grows, insight behind individual connections supports research, pilots and programmes that shift or reduce peak demand.
What P1Plug takes off your plate
Equipping and supporting large numbers of households yourself, and managing devices across many different addresses.
What it could look like
Invite participants in a pilot or programme through a dedicated order flow. Devices are linked to the right participant, and data flows into your analysis environment.

Housing corporations

Energy insight across your housing portfolio.

Why real-time P1 data
Real-time data helps tenants understand and manage their energy use, and shows you how renovations and installations perform in practice.
What P1Plug takes off your plate
Scheduling installation appointments, depending on tenants’ home networks and managing devices across hundreds of addresses.
What it could look like
Offer P1Plug to tenants in a single complex or across your portfolio, for example alongside a renovation. Every device ships already linked to the right address.

Why P1Plug

The device is the easy part.

Plenty of devices can read a P1 port. What makes P1Plug different is that hardware, connectivity, provisioning, fulfilment and activation run as one managed process, so the operational burden doesn’t land on you.

A typical connected device

You buy hardware and inherit the work around it:

  • Sourcing, stock and shipping to organise
  • Wi-Fi onboarding for every customer
  • Linking devices to accounts yourself
  • Support when a customer gets a new router or changes their Wi-Fi password
  • Several suppliers to coordinate

P1Plug

You integrate once. We run the chain:

  • Devices supplied, provisioned and shipped by us
  • No Wi-Fi needed: the device has its own connection
  • Linked to the right customer before it ships
  • Independent of your customer’s router or network
  • One partner and one integration
