After two CPPs, we’re still not sure what some of the information displayed on the smart thermostat means. We checked the User Guide and the Quick Reference Guide to no avail.
Here’s what was displayed during the CPP, four screens in turn:
==============
$ 10
5.:35pm
==============
73.00c/kW
HR
5:35pm
==============
64kw
HR
78
==============
EVE
78
==============
The second screen is showing us the current price of electricity, 73 cents per kilowatt hour.
The fourth screen is showing the current program step, EVEning, and the target temperature, 78 degrees.
What is the first screen? What is ten dollars?
And what is the third screen? What is 64 kilowatt hours?
Today, (Sunday, 10 Aug) we’re on a normal day, and the two puzzler screens are showing $40 and still 64 kilowatt hours. We’re stumped.
Thanks and regards,

The first screen of the thermostat display below shows an estimate of the month-to-date (MTD) bill for electricity since the last monthly bill.
The third screen below shows the MTD electricity usage in kilowatt hours since the last monthly bill.
Both figures are updated using data through midnight of the previous day.
I hope this answers the question! If not, please feel free to contact us at 1-888-232-5949 or via email at info@PowerCentsDC.org
