grid into your home (labeled "IN"), and the amount of surplus electricity you have
delivered out to the grid (labeled "OUT").
Current Usage
The Current Usage screen shows the rate
of energy consumption and the estimated
cost per hour in dollars (or cents, if it is
less than one dollar). The estimated cost
is calculated from the current price per
unit multiplied by the current rate of
energy consumption. The data is updated
from the meter every 8 seconds while this screen is shown.
This is like the speedometer in your car; it shows you how fast you are consuming
energy.
Total to Date
The Total to Date screen shows your
accumulated totals for energy consumption
and estimated cost for the current time
period. The start date of the current time
period is shown at the top of the screen.
The number of elapsed days so far in this
time period is shown in the upper right of
the screen. The number of days is shown
to the nearest one-tenth of a day. The cumulative energy consumption for the time
period is shown as recorded by the smart meter. The estimated cost for the recorded
energy consumption is shown in dollars (or cents, if it is less than one dollar), and is
based on the current price value during the period. The average cost per day for the
current time period is shown in the lower right of the screen.
This is like the odometer in your car; it shows you the total energy used so far.
The current time period can be restarted by pressing and holding the Top Button for 5
seconds. This will save all of the accumulated totals in the Previous Totals screen, and
restart all of the current counters to zero.
IMPORTANT: The EMU™ displays the usage and cost
as recorded by the smart meter; these numbers may
differ from what is shown on your actual utility bill.
