Energy data

Overview

There are several ways to get energy data flowing into Myrspoven, depending on how your meters are connected and how granular your data is. This page covers what's supported, what to expect at each resolution, and why higher-resolution data unlocks better results.

Integration options

BMS (Building Management System)

The simplest and most efficient method. If your energy meters are already connected to a BMS, Myrspoven retrieves signals directly from it — no extra integration work needed. If your meters are not yet on the BMS but could be, we strongly recommend connecting them there.

Third-party energy providers

For energy data that comes from an energy company rather than a BMS, Myrspoven currently integrates with Mestro and Metry in Sweden. These services typically deliver hourly data when available, and daily or monthly data otherwise.

Third-party providers usually charge for data access — the cost depends on your contract with them.

Manual upload

If you can't share data automatically — or if you use a third-party provider that Myrspoven doesn't yet support — you can upload energy data manually. Most resolutions are supported, but data within each upload must use a consistent resolution.

Granularity levels

Myrspoven supports a range of data resolutions, because not every site can provide real-time data. We always recommend the highest resolution you can offer — higher granularity unlocks better analysis, more accurate reporting, and stronger optimization.

Resolution	Best for	Notes
Real-time	Control, reporting, analysis, troubleshooting	Instantaneous or accumulated consumption
Hourly	Reporting, analysis, troubleshooting	Accumulated or hourly consumption per hour
Daily	Daily reporting comparisons	Limited for building-level impact analysis
Monthly	Reporting only	One value per month — analysis is very limited

Why low-resolution data limits what Myrspoven can do

Daily and monthly data still work, but the trade-offs are real. Higher resolution makes a measurable difference in three areas.

Energy control. Without detailed data, advanced machine learning can't be used to optimize energy use; Myrspoven falls back on simpler heuristic methods. These work, but they require deep expertise to tune and don't adapt as well to new systems or unexpected conditions.

Reporting. Reporting on dynamic features like load shifting becomes harder. Reports end up based on simplified models or raw invoices, which are harder to interpret. Climate-compensated energy reporting also loses precision at lower resolutions — workarounds like SMHI normalization factors exist but only apply in Sweden.

Future capabilities. More advanced functionality — precise energy optimization, detailed system breakdowns, enhanced reporting — depends on having granular data to work from. Examples include breaking down energy usage for component-level analysis, and fine-tuning HVAC systems for maximum efficiency.

For sites aiming for the best possible optimization and reporting, higher-resolution data is the single biggest input you control.

Requesting a new third-party integration

If you'd like Myrspoven to support an energy provider we don't currently integrate with, get in touch with your Myrspoven representative. We evaluate new integrations on a case-by-case basis depending on coverage, demand, and feasibility.
