Entities

A customer is the entity which has operational access to one or more installations.

An installation is the physical location where meters are installed. This is called a site in the administrative portal.

A meter is a logical metering point provided by either a physical metering device or a virtual calculation in the platform. A single physical device may provide measurements for multiple metering points. A metering point is usually the main energy supply for a building, a zone, or a specific appliance. Meters are organized in a hierarchy, and each meter keeps a reference to it's parent.

A register is a reference to a specific time series available for a meter. Each register has a type defining its content and behaviour.

A label is key-value metadata assigned to an entity. Currently this is supported for installations and meters.
