The key measuring points are: 1. Mains/Transformers Track injection and extraction for your electricity meter here, to find out the actual amount of power drawn from or injected into the grid. Good to know: the measurement is taken at low voltage and does not account for any transformer losses.

2. Consumption Track total consumption here, from all electricity sources – grid or solar panels.

4.6. Time interval settings You can easily display information from a specific period or time interval using the time settings.
Fig. 18 Time interval settings
Today Instantly displays the data for the current day, from 00:00 to 00:00. “Previous” and “Next” arrow keys Swiftly go back and forth in time. Is your current display set to a week? Then use the “Previous” arrow to access the data for the previous week. Time interval shortcuts Use the shortcut keys to select a time interval or a specific period. All the information on the page is based on the selected time period. Shortcuts

Did you select a different time interval? Note that the end of the interval will remain the same; only the starting point of the interval will change. For example: Say we start with a daily overview: If you now select a weekly overview, the last day will remain the same, 2019-11-11 22:00:00, and only the first day will change to 2019-11-04 22:00:00.

4.7. Consumption graph This graph shows total consumption for the building or department of your choice, for the selected time interval. Check the resolution in the upper left-hand corner: if the resolution is one hour, the consumption displayed will be the number of units consumed in that hour; if it’s one day, then it will show the amount of units consumed that day. You can use the graph in several ways: Mouseover Hover your cursor over the graph. The consumption data for that point will be displayed over the graph.
