Your Real-time Usage
Your Aztech In-Home Display provides the unique ability to show your real time usage in three viewing options. Your real time usage is
updated at a rate determined by your meter although, if consumption is low, it may take several minutes or longer to notice any
changes on the Current Usage and Light Bulb views. The instantaneous view always gives immediate response.
Current Usage(
▲
)
The
M
ain view – Current Usage.
The value is typically updated every few minutes and represents the average amount of electricity in
kilowatts that is presently being used. (Demand) The bottom number in the smaller font represents the
cost of electricity use per hour at the present rate of consumption. (based only on variable costs)
Light bulbs(
▲
)
Each light bulb represents 100W of electricity being used and corresponds to the number displayed in
the previous screen rounded down to the nearest 100W increment. If the amount of electricity is greater
than the number of light bulbs that can be displayed (60 bulbs, >6000 W), the view will revert to the
Current Usage view.
Instantaneous(
√
)
In this display, the smart meter is queried once every six seconds and each real-time electricity demand
value is displayed in kW. After a total of five queries over approximately 30 seconds, the display reverts
back to the average demand in Current Usage view shown above.
Although efforts are made to provide accurate electricity cost information, ALL COSTS ARE ESTIMATES FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, NOT FOR BILLING.
