I have two meters:
- Three phase to monitor the 3 phases of our grid supply
- Single phase configured as "special load" to monitor how much power our heat pump uses
I've read the blog entry at https://imeter.club/topic/364
How do I get the special load meter to show on the main page ?
Hi:
Please add the single phase meter in the same place as the three phase meter , and select the use-type with "load"
Then it would be record as the "special load" in that place.
I have the two meters set up in my "Home" place. You can see the three phases of the mains meter set as "grid". The other meter I have set as "special load".
It still does not show up on the main page.
Hi,
The power value of the "special load" is displayed on the power chart in the "overview" dashboard only if an "inverter" is present at that place.
Even though the power value is not shown on that chart, you can still analyze the special load using this report(https://imeter.club/topic/363).
It will show the percentage of the special load in relation to the total load consumption.
By the way do you also have a solar inverter in your system? If so, is it 3-phase or 1-phase?
"By the way do you also have a solar inverter in your system? If so, is it 3-phase or 1-phase?"
Not yet - working to get a solar PV system installed. It will be three phase (around 10-13kW)
OK thanks for your replies
After installing solar energy, this report can show you how much of the boiler heater's energy consumption comes from solar energy and how much comes from the grid. Special load source analysis
If solar energy is not yet installed, you can use another report that shows the proportion of the boiler heater's energy consumption relative to the total energy consumption from the grid. load consumption analysis
This is cool. Is it possible to have more than one special load? I’d like to monitor several circuits.
Please let me know your specific requirements.
The Iammeter is great for overall energy. The next step for me is monitoring individual loads, mainly high consumption appliances like ducted a/c and pumps.
So would love to be able to name special loads and see more than one.
Please try this report https://www.iammeter.com/docs/load-consumption-analysis#load-comparison
Hi ,you want to have a option to combin the power value and display just one sum result in the chart ,yes?
Hello,
We’ve optimized the load power curve chart so that all loads can now be stacked together, and when you hover over the chart it will display the total. You can also toggle each individual load on or off to suit your needs.
Let me know if you have any questions or would like further customizations!
