How to Check If Your Home Has a TNB Smart Meter

Ever wondered why you can't see your daily electricity usage on the myTNB app? The answer depends on the type of meter you have at home. Malaysia is currently rolling out smart meters nationwide, with the goal of completing the transition by 2026 .

How smart meters help you track usage

The myTNB app has a special feature that lets you track your electricity consumption day by day. However, this only works if you have a smart meter .

Unlike older meters, smart meters automatically send your usage data to TNB. This constant flow of information is what allows the app to generate those detailed daily and monthly graphs for you .

How to check your usage dashboard

If you have a smart meter installed, you can add your account to the myTNB app to unlock your personal usage dashboard. This dashboard shows you your energy trends, making it easier to spot patterns in how you use electricity .

If you don't see these daily graphs in your app, it is likely because your home is still using a traditional meter that doesn't support this real-time tracking feature .

Set an "Energy Budget" to save money

One of the best perks for smart meter users is the "Energy Budget" feature. You can set a spending limit in the app, and it will send you alerts if you are getting close to that amount .

While all TNB customers can use the myTNB app for things like paying bills, these advanced tracking and budgeting tools are specifically designed to work with the data provided by smart meters .
