## Enable 2-way ESPM sync for meters

The following section only applies for properties being tracked in ESPM, for which Abisko allows users to configure meters to enable 2-way syncing so that all meter data can be updated on-demand and all data entry can take place in Abisko.

### Configure ESPM meter to enable 2-way sync

To configure a meter for 2-way syncing with ESPM, manager level users must first edit the meter.

<Warning>
  Only **manager level** users can configure ESPM meters for 2-way sync.
</Warning>

* **Navigate to Property → Meters → Energy / Water / Waste**
  * Hover the mouse over the row in the table for the meter entry you would like to enable
  * Click the edit icon that shows itself on the right side to open the sidebar
  * Check the 'Enable ESPM Sync' checkbox and save

### Sync entries from an ESPM meter on-demand

After a meter is configured for 2-way ESPM syncing, users can sync the meter on-demand to capture any recent changes to entries made in ESPM.

**Navigate to Property → Meters → Energy / Water / Waste**

* Click on the name of the meter for which you would like to sync entries
* Scroll to below the meter information and meter data plot
* Click the 'Sync ESPM Entries' checkbox

  <Note>
    The loading spinner will stop spinning after all entries are synced with ESPM
  </Note>
* If the meter plot does not automatically update, click on **Refresh Analytics** at the top of the meter entry page to update the plot and performance metrics

### Push meter entry updates to ESPM

After all meter entries are synced with ESPM, users can create or edit an entry and push to ESPM.

<Tip>
  It is recommended to **Sync ESPM Entries** for the meter before adding or editing entries.
</Tip>

**To push new entries to ESPM**

* Add a new entry the same way as if the meter was an Abisko (non-ESPM) meter
  * Click 'Add Entry' button
  * Fill out all the entry information in the sidebar and save

**To edit an existing meter entry and push changes to ESPM**

* Edit an existing entry the same way as if the meter was an Abisko (non-ESPM) meter
  * Click the edit icon for the entry to open the sidebar

    <Note>
      Abisko will automatically sync the entry with the most recent value that is in ESPM for that meter entry after opening the sidebar.
    </Note>
  * Edit the meter entry and save
* Any changes to the meter entry will be automatically pushed to ESPM
