KEEP IN MIND:
The product will start measuring your energy consumption immediately upon connecting it to a
smart meter or other data source. By default, the counter will reset to
day of every month. For a closer approximation of how you're tracking against your monthly
bill, you can change the start date to correspond with the first day of your billing cycle (which
can usually be found on your utility bill).
Set a monthly budget dollar target:
Energy > More > Set Monthly Budget > Monthly Budget
Ideally, how much would you like to spend each month for electricity?
From the MONTHLY BUDGET screen,
use the
value of the monthly target budget.
When the dollar value is selected,
press
KEEP IN MIND:
You may want to set the target slightly lower than the total amount you'd like to pay, to
accommodate fees and taxes that may be added to your electricity bill.
To change the beeper settings for this alert:
