Configuration
ZENTRA Cloud 2.0 supports remote device configuration. How a device transitions depends on whether it already belongs to an organization in ZENTRA Cloud 1.0.
Devices not yet in ZENTRA Cloud 1.0
- If a device does not have an organization in ZENTRA Cloud 1.0, it will automatically transition to allow configuration changes from ZENTRA Cloud 2.0 as soon as it is added there.
- No additional steps or support assistance are required.
Devices already in ZENTRA Cloud 1.0
- If a device is already associated with an organization in ZENTRA Cloud 1.0, configuration control does not automatically switch.
- These devices can be manually transitioned to allow configuration changes from ZENTRA Cloud 2.0 with the help of METER Support.
- Once transitioned, all future configuration changes should be made in ZENTRA Cloud 2.0.
During the transition, data continues to flow to both platforms simultaneously, ensuring uninterrupted access to historical and live data.
Coming in April
- Support for subscription management in 2.0
- Migration of legacy subscriptions from ZENTRA Cloud 1.0 to 2.0
- Legacy subscription dates will be preserved
- Subscription status will continue syncing to 1.0 to prevent service interruptions
- See Subscription Usage for more information about subscription management in 2.0.

How the transition works
ZENTRA Cloud 2.0 is a replacement for ZENTRA Cloud 1.0, but both platforms will coexist for a period of time to ensure a smooth transition.
Key things to know
- Your data continues to flow to both platforms simultaneously
- Data in ZENTRA Cloud 1.0 remains accessible during and after the migration
- No immediate action is required to keep your data safe
- METER will announce timelines well in advance of any future 1.0 shutdown
For API users
- ZENTRA Cloud 1.0 APIs (v3/v4) will continue to work during the transition
- Long‑term, all integrations will move to API v5
- Subscription status will sync between platforms to prevent API interruptions
- See our API articles for more information
What This Means for You
When transitioning to ZENTRA Cloud 2.0, all users will need to:
- Create a new ZENTRA Cloud 2.0 login (Passwords and authentication are not shared between platforms.)
- Create a new organization in ZENTRA Cloud 2.0 (Organizations do not carry over.)
- Re‑add devices, such as data loggers and weather stations
- Re‑add users and assign permissions as needed
Migrate to 2.0
ZENTRA Cloud 2.0 is a completely new platform with a new authentication system and updated organization, device, and user management features. Because of these changes, no accounts, devices, or users are automatically migrated from ZENTRA Cloud 1.0 to 2.0.
