1. From the entered data, the application calculates the average normalized rate of consumption per hour, day, week, or month (bewteen two readings) and draws a graph showing the consumption rate over time.
2. If your meter records a usage of 10kWh within one hour (10kW power), the trend will show a usage rate of 240kWh per day for that measurement point (10kWh/h = 10kW power rating, normalized to one day -> 10kW * 24h = 240kWh). This is by design.
3. Add your meters for gas, electricity, or water to the database and record the current meter readings from time to time.
4. IMPORTANT NOTE: The trend graph does NOT show total amount of energy used.
5. In this case, the meter value is multiplied with a certain factor to convert it to the final energy value.
6. Two separate unit texts can be entered, one for the meter and one for the actual energy value.
7. Please note that you should read your physical meters which are part of a virtual meter all around the same time for best results.
8. The total amount of actually used energy during each day, week, month, or quarter is displayed as a bar graph or table.
9. The trend graph shows usage values normalized to a certain time period (hour/day/week/month or year).
10. Meter exchange or reset is detected automatically and consumption data is recorded seamlessly across the reset.
11. Meters can be marked to count backwards, which can happen with prepaid meters, showing the amount of remaining prepaid energy instead of used energy.
1. As an additional question, is there any possibility to integrate this tool with weather information ? For example, for me as i have this heat pump, i would like to also have information when i register the data, what is the temperature in my location based on maybe accuweather or google weather ?? Is just a suggestion, i am thinking about how i use the application of course :).Every reading is "first reading".
2. Feature requests: allow overlaying many years on top; import local weather hourly temp data; allow for different rates: my utility has one set of rates for winter and one set of rates for summer, also they have multiple rate tiers such that first 500 kWH has one rate and anything over 500kWH has a higher rate.
3. Love how it calculates the daily usage rate based on time since last data input, therefore daily avg usage rates are useful for comparison.
4. Trying to added 2 years historical meter readings, but every reading is recorded as a first reading and editing the tick box makes no difference.
5. Or better..have the option to end the month for monthly consumption at the actual last day of the month and if the measurement is missing on that day, extrapolate the consumption for that day based on past measured valuesHello.
6. I have a heat pump for which i want to monitor the daily consumption and writing down on google keep this information was a pain as i had no other output from just writing the values.
7. Uninstalling I've better things to do than try and hunt for the obvious.I have been using this for quite some time but it's showing reading as First Measurement if the current reading is less than the previous reading.
8. Maybe in the future iteration on the graph with consumption you could add an average because of course, there will be peaks but an average per month according to the current consumption would be interesting to have.
9. So nearly there, but unfortunately, although there is an option to enter cost/year in the meter settings, this value is completely ignored in the cost calculations, making it useless for tracking tariffs with a standing charge.
10. the ability to attach invoices (or photograph them) to certain accounts would make this app even better.Looks like it's what I want but stealth installed something I'm not interested in "Game Tools??" And by further stealth implies it has gained access to permissions I did not accept.
11. I guess this is never getting fixed, as there's been no updates for 5 years and the website link doesn't work.Great app for visualizing usage offline.
