Why an ABB Terra AC has no automatic route into Joulo, and what the options are.
The ABB Terra AC has no owner-facing cloud API that Joulo can read. The units sold in the Netherlands carry no MID meter either. There is no automatic route, and no API integration to document.
At a glance
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Route | No automatic route |
| API | None available to owners |
| Sync | Manual meter reading in the Joulo dashboard |
| MID detection | Not automatic |
| ERE registration | Not possible without a MID meter |
Why there is no integration
Two things have to be true before Joulo can register your energy. The charger has to deliver session data to a backend Joulo can read, and a MID-certified meter has to be the source of those kWh. The Terra AC as sold here fails the second condition, so building the first would not help.
You can still record readings in the Joulo dashboard to track your own use. Those readings are not a valid basis for ERE registration.
A photograph of a meter reading is not a measurement source. ERE registration needs full session data from a certified meter.
What you can do
Two routes lead to eligible energy:
- Replace the charger with a model that has a built-in MID meter. Joulo quotes this, and the installer takes the old charger and settles the trade-in.
- Ask your grid operator for a secondary allocation point. This gives the charger its own metered supply point. Expect an installation charge of roughly 200 to 300 euro plus a monthly fee.
Counting starts at the meter. Sessions charged before a MID meter is in place never become eligible, not even inside the window for registering 2026 sessions. An external meter in the fuse box is not a valid route for home charging.
