Namespace
The namespace that will be generated will only display a selection of two options, either to retrieve kWh or kvarh.
Note: it will not list all the meters available for your account. The particular meter serial number required to extract data for must be available to populate in the retrieval section of a measure.
When using the items in the namespace to generate a measure, the meter’s serial number as well as the type of values to be returned must be specified in the retrieval section of the measure.
