electricity meter
Household usage tracker
An electricity meter is a device that measures how much electrical energy passes through it, typically installed where power enters a building.
Utility companies read the meter to determine billing.
The landlord checked the electricity meter to see why the bill was so high.
Smart meters transmit readings automatically; older meters require manual reading.
