Enum - ReadingType

Key: enum.readingType

Measurement dimension on reading identifying the category of physical quantity a value represents. Combined with direction, tariff, source, and format, it forms part of the composite identity used to distinguish otherwise-simultaneous readings for the same gauge (e.g. a KVP gauge recording temperature, humidity, and CO2 at the same timestamp produces three separate reading rows, distinguished by type).

Values

Value	Description
energy	Energy measured in an energy unit (e.g. kWh, GJ) — the most common case, covering electricity, gas, heat, and similar media.
power	Instantaneous power (e.g. kW), rather than energy accumulated over time.
volume	Volume measured in a volume unit (e.g. m³, l) — covers water, gas measured before energy conversion, fuel, and phm.
temperature	Ambient temperature, typically from a KVP (indoor environment quality) sensor.
humidity	Relative humidity, typically from a KVP sensor.
co2	CO2 concentration, typically from a KVP sensor.
