In this article you will see the four different ways you can view your live power usage in our Basis Home App.
There are several different ways you can view your live power usage within the app.
1. When you first log in to the Home screen, you can view your current live power usage throughout your home, as well as the total power consumption for the day.
2. On the Usage screen, accessible by tapping the second icon in the footer, you can view your total energy consumption for the day. This section also provides a comparison to your usage from the previous day, along with a breakdown of which circuits contributed to your overall consumption.
3. On the Panel screen, which you can access by tapping the third icon in the footer, you can monitor your live power usage as well as identify how many circuits are actively drawing power at any given moment.
4. From the Panel screen, tapping on "Subcircuits" will direct you to the Circuit screen, where you can see a detailed breakdown of each mapped circuit and its current power usage. This feature allows you to identify any potential vampire loads—appliances that consume power while turned off—or circuits that may be drawing an unexpected amount of energy.
The Basis Home app provides you with comprehensive insights into your real-time power usage. By utilizing the features outlined above, you can make informed choices regarding your appliances and energy consumption.
