Vacation rental owner
Her 2 properties equipped with Powtiva
70 m2 in Dordogne - Electric heating, water heater, 4 radiators
T3/T4 Kit - Meter + 3 modules
42 m2 in city center - Reversible air conditioning, water heater
Studio/T2 Kit - Meter + 2 modules
Her problem before Powtiva
EUR 2,400/year in electricity bills she couldn't properly charge back to tenants. Manual meter readings, frequent disputes, heating left on full blast in winter by tenants out on excursions.
A booking at the Gîte, step by step
The Martin family books the gîte for winter holidays. Here's how Powtiva handles everything automatically.
Booking creation
Sophie creates the booking from her dashboard. The system automatically calculates the appropriate welcome credit.
4 pers x 7 nights x 8.5 kWh/day x EUR 0.25/kWh = ~60 kWh
Check-in
The Martin family arrives at the gîte. The meter reading is captured automatically and the tenant receives a QR code to access their portal.
Real-time consumption
During the stay, Sophie and the Martins can track consumption in real time from their respective portals.
Low balance alert
When the balance drops to EUR 5, a WhatsApp notification is automatically sent to the tenant with a top-up link.
Hello Martin Family, your energy balance is low (EUR 5.00). To avoid load shedding of comfort circuits (heating, water heater), top up your account: https://portal.powtiva.com/recharge
Automatic load shedding
If the tenant doesn't top up and the balance reaches EUR 0, comfort circuits are automatically cut off. Essential circuits ALWAYS remain active.
Comfort circuits - Cut off
Essential circuits - Always active
Legal obligation: essential circuits are never cut off.
Check-out
When the Martin family leaves, the final reading is captured automatically. The summary is generated and the remaining balance is refunded.
