Header

In the main header you will find the uptime, temperature, free memory and four indicators: ESP, HAN, WiFi and MQTT. These will change color depending on the state.

ESP

  • Green - Voltage is within recommended range (ESP32: 3.1 - 3.5, ESP8266: 2.8 - 3.5)
  • Yellow - Voltage is low, but within operating range (ESP32: 3.0 - 3.6, ESP8266: 2.7 - 3.6)
  • Red - Voltage is outside operating range
  • Will also show voltage if present

HAN

  • Grey - Waiting for initialization
  • Green - Less than 15 sec since last received message
  • Yellow - Less than 30 sec since last received message
  • Red - More than 30 sec since last received message

WiFi

  • Green - RSSI higher than -75
  • Yellow - RSSI higher than -95
  • Red - RSSI lower than -95

MQTT

  • Grey - Unconfigured
  • Green - Connected
  • Yellow - Not connected (reconnecting)
  • Red - Error reported

Date and time. Will only show month, day and timestamp if the timestamp equals your browsers date. Turns red and shows full date if not.

Lastly there are three buttons with icons for:

  • Help - Takes you to this wiki
  • Info - Shows a status page for your device
  • Config - Takes you to the configuration menu

Sensor displays

Up to four graphical sensor displays which are updated in real time:

  • Consumption gauge shows the current wattage imported from the grid and the total accumulated kWh. The maximum limit of this gauge is defined by main fuse and distribution system in Meter configuration
  • Export gauge shows how much you export to the grid. This gauge is only displayed if production capacity is configured in Meter configuration
  • Voltage gauge displays the voltage of all phases (or line voltage in case of IT/TT), within a +/- 10% range.
  • Current gauge displays the current of all phases (or line current in case of IT/TT), where maximum is defined by main fuse in Meter configuration

There is also a text block showing reactive import and export.

Real time calculation

A real time update of consumption within the current hour, day and month as well is the highest consumption within an hour in the current month. If you have Thresholds configured in Threshold configuration it will also show the threshold. If you have a price region configured and enabled price fetching, it will also show cost. See more about this in General configuration

Future energy price

If you have a price region configured and enabled price fetching, a bar chart with price per kWh for the upcoming hours are displayed. The bars will disappear as each hour are passed and updated with new prices when they become available.

Energy use last 24 hours

Consumption within each hour of the last 24 hours. Hour 9 is usage between 9-10 and is calculated when the first accumulated value is received after 10. Latest hour is at the right side of the graph.

Some meters only report accumulated values at the top of the hour. If the software misses one of these, then the next calculation will cover two hours and divide the total value between the two missing hours.

Energy use last month

Consumption within each day of the last month. Day 5 is usage from 00:00 to 23:59 that day and is calculated when the first accumulated value is received after midnight. Latest day is at the right side of the graph.

Same as for daily graph, if a midnight value is missed, the next calculation will cover two days and be equally divided between the two.

Temperature sensors

If you have more than one temperature sensor, a bar chart with a bar for each sensor is shown. A configuration link opens a page where the user can configure name for each sensor as well as select which ones will be included in the average temperature shown in the status bar.
