Wattwatchers
Wattwatchers is an Australian digital energy company (founded 2007, headquartered in Sydney, NSW) that designs and manufactures the Auditor family of DIN-rail electricity monitoring and switching devices, and operates the cloud platform behind them. It sits behind the meter rather than at it — Auditors clamp onto individual circuits and report real-time, circuit-level energy data over 4G or WiFi to Wattwatchers' hosted platform, which resells that data to solar installers, energy retailers, energy services companies, EV and DER programs, schools and research trials. Its API posture is genuinely open at the documentation layer and closed at the data layer — the full REST API v3 (Mercury) reference, a live Swagger UI and a downloadable OpenAPI 3.0 contract are all served anonymously from docs.wattwatchers.com.au, but no key is self-serve: Wattwatchers issues bearer tokens by hand and scopes each one to the specific devices you own or manage, so the API returns your fleet's data and nothing else. Consumer usage data is therefore available through a documented API, while no open grid or market data is published at all. Wattwatchers is not a designated Consumer Data Right energy data holder and does not appear as an accredited data recipient — the CDR energy mandate applies to retailers and AEMO, not to behind-the-meter hardware vendors, so this platform carries no CDR obligation and implements no CDR or Green Button data standard. Wattwatchers entered voluntary administration in October 2025 and was acquired by EPX Limited (ASX:EPX, formerly EP&T Global); the Wattwatchers knowledge base now redirects to support.epx.tech, while the developer documentation, the API host and the OpenAPI contract all remain live and unchanged.
Wattwatchers publishes 4 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Devices API, Long Energy API, Modbus API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Energy, Australia, Utilities, Electricity, and Smart Metering.
The Wattwatchers catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Wattwatchers’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, changelog, support, API reference, getting-started guide, code examples, and 24 more developer resources.
Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon Accounting Disclosure Standards (SBTi, PCAF, CDP, GHG Protocol) | undeclared | - | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 1
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
