On the platform Electronic House A new convenient feature has been introduced for Moscow residents: they can now submit water meter readings using a photo. No longer is there a need to enter the numbers manually—simply take a photo of the meter using the platform's mobile app, and the system will automatically recognize and fill in the data.

To use it, go to the "Readings" section on the main page, then select "Water Meters" and the corresponding address. Then, tap the camera icon next to the reading entry field. You can then select "Take a photo" to take a photo of the meter directly in the app, or "Upload from gallery" if you've already taken a photo. Before sending, make sure the numbers in the image are clear and legible. If everything is OK, tap "Submit." If not, select "Take a new photo" and repeat the process.
If the readings are successfully recognized, the numbers will appear in the corresponding field. If necessary, the data can be edited manually. To submit the received data to the system, click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page.
