Energy Monitoring
To view the amount of energy being used, long press on the icon of the device you want to view.
 |
 |
From the device page, you can view the current consumption and total consumption. The total consumption date range can be changed within device Settings > Energy.
To view energy usage graphs, rotate your device into landscape mode. The first graph will display a summary of daily energy use.
If you click on the blue bar of any specific day, you can view a more accurate representation of when the device is in use and how much energy it is using throughout the day.
Cost Monitoring
To set up cost monitoring, go to app Settings > General > Electricity Tariff
Once you've entered in your current electricity tariff the app will use this to calculate a representational cost of the energy used by each device.
Total Consumption Date Range
The total consumption date range can be changed within device Settings > Energy.
Please Note:
- The cost monitoring values are only representational and are not accurate to your billable energy usage.
- The 3-Gang Relay is the only relay that has the energy monitoring feature. The L81 and L82 relays do not have energy monitoring.
- Connect Series (1st-generation) devices do not have energy monitoring features.
- All users can view one week of historical energy data. Lightwave PLUS members can view 13 months of historical energy data.
- Some icons may appear differently on iOS, images were taken on Android
How accurate is the reading from the energy monitor?
The discrepancy you will see is due to the rate limits we introduce in the way the system communicates. When on local mode, you will get updates up to every 15 seconds as the energy monitor transmits its information. However, we limit the data sent to the server depending on the current/total values in an effort to reduce unnecessary repeating data. This can result in the readings on the server being relatively out of date, but the values will be slight. Your "live" current use will be within 10% of the value shown when away, and the total use will be within 0.1kWh.
The total yesterday use will be the highest the total use yesterday reached when passed to the server. Similar to the previous paragraph, it is possible that it may be slightly out of sync, but the discrepancy will be very slight in this instance.
