Data unlocking overview
After a customer has established their utility connection, Bayou gathers all customer data made available by the utility. By default that data will be unlocked for access by a company and metered for monthly invoicing from Bayou to the company using Bayou's product.
Bayou only charges for unlocked data across both production and staging environments.
Data unlocking can be controlled:
- Today
- At the company level across all end customer bills
- For each individual end customer bill
- Coming soon:
- At the individual meter level on each end customer bill
Until the ability to unlock data at the individual meter level is implemented in Bayou’s product:
- Bayou makes an assumption on a company's meter preference (electric, gas or both meter types) based on discussion with an individual company.
- Based on this assumption (which is communicated when a first invoice is sent to a company) Bayou only charges a company based on their meter preference.
- As an example, if a company's meter preference is electric meter data only, then the company will not be charged for any gas meter data.
A company can change their meter preference at any time by emailing [email protected].
