ONTEC Home is a smart monitoring application that provides consumers’ access to monitoring their household water consumption as well as purchase prepaid electricity. Through Ontec Home consumers can monitor more than one household at any given time.
Consumers are able to compare their monthly water account with the consumption data available via Ontec Home and therefore contact the utility with accurate data for billing purposes. This data provides the utility with the opportunity to identify potential faulty water meters that might require recalibration or replacement to ensure accurate billing.
With the GaugeIT solution within Ontec Home consumers can monitor their household water consumption in near real-time and set daily targets in line with the water saving goals set by the municipality. GaugeIT will send notifications to the consumer when nearing their consumption target and also once the daily target has been reached. Consumers are also notified of possible leaks that have been detected, which they can then investigate and fix quickly to avoid further water losses.
The prepaid purchases function allows consumers to buy electricity online from anywhere in the world or from the comfort of their own home. A history of previous purchases is stored, providing the consumer insight into their energy purchasing patterns, which is depicted visually in graph format.
Consumers can register their meters and access services via https://home.ontec.co.za/, or download the free Ontec Home mobile application from the Google PlayStore or Apple AppStore.
