What does it mean?
See and hear what you're using
Your Trio makes your electricity and gas consumption
both visible and audible, taking the guesswork out of
understanding how much your home uses - both right
now and historically.
What is a kilowatt hour?
Electrical and gas energy consumption is measured in
kilowatt hours (kWh) - traditionally known as 'units' .
As items within the home consume energy during the day,
the total kilowatt hours increases.
A kilowatt hours (kW) is the rate at which energy is being
consumed, so using 1.5 kilowatts (kW) for 1 hour would
result in 1.5 kilowatts hours of energy consumed.
It's about now ...
The home screen 'Now' tab is split into two parts. The left-
hand side shows electricity consumption right now; and
the right-hand side shows gas consumption within the last
30 minutes.
Electricity is updated every few seconds and the gas every
30 minutes (gas meters run on batteries and therefore only
wake up every 30 minutes to send their data).
To make it even easier to understand the rates of
consumption of energy, the Display can show and speak
the rate of consumption as either cost per hour or power in
watts or kilowatts.
For example, if the Display says £0.15 for the rate of
electricity consumption, then this means that if the rate
remained the same it would cost 15p for the next hour.
