Meter-reading submission window and reminders

Set a monthly window for submitting meter readings — residents get automatic Telegram reminders.

The admin can define a monthly window (days of the month) during which residents must submit their meter readings. Residents with Telegram linked get automatic reminders — once when the window opens and once the day before it closes — but only if they haven’t submitted yet.

Setup

  1. From the bot, tap “⏰ Reading submission window”.
  2. Tap “⚙️ Set window”.
  3. Enter the start day (1–27), then the end day of the window.
  4. The window is saved and reminders turn on automatically.

To turn off reminders, tap “🔕 Disable reminders” from the same menu.

What residents get

  • When the window opens: a notification with the deadline (the end day).
  • One day before it closes: a reminder, if readings haven’t been submitted yet.

Residents submit readings by tapping “📝 Submit readings” in the bot menu or on the web portal.
