Summary Your IHD provides a summary of your electricity usage and cost since the summary was reset. The cost will be presented first (on top) when in cost mode. The usage will be presented first when in usage mode. When your summary is reset, the values will begin accumulating from zero.
Historical Views (Consumed Presentation) Your IHD displays your historical usage for the last 24 hours and the last 28 days to enable you to define trends in your usage patterns, and to provide feedback on your energy conservation efforts over a period of time. Last 24 Hour Views Each of the 24 vertical bars represents one hour.
Last 28 Days Views This screen displays up to 28 vertical bars showing the daily information for each of the last 28 days, including accumulated data for the current day. Each of the 28 bars represents one day of data. The graph updates automatically so that the most recent 28 days of data are always displayed.
Messages You will find the Message screen between the 28 Day Detail and the Current Usage screen. The screen will become active when the first message is sent to the IHD. A message icon in the status bar will alert you to the presence of a message. Message Order Your IHD can store up to 8 historic messages and display 1 active message.
