Steps
Create the Meter resource against its parent asset first (e.g., UpKeep's Create a Meter call) if one doesn't already exist.
Submit new readings via the platform's dedicated meter-reading endpoint (e.g., UpKeep's Add a Reading to a Meter) rather than updating the asset record directly.
Include a timestamp with each reading so usage-based PM/threshold logic can calculate elapsed usage correctly.
Configure or check meter notifications (threshold alerts) via the platform's meter-notification endpoints if you need alerting on out-of-range readings.
Pull historical readings via the Get All Readings for a Meter endpoint to backfill or audit usage trends.
Known gotchas
Meters are a separate resource from the asset itself — you can't just patch a 'currentReading' field on the asset in most CMMS APIs.
Reading history and notification config are typically separate endpoints/objects from the meter definition itself — creating a meter doesn't automatically enable alerts.
Backdating readings (submitting historical data out of order) can retroactively trigger multiple missed-PM generations depending on the platform's scheduling logic — test this before bulk-importing historical meter data.
