Changing energy calculation settings

Energy estimation shown on the homepage of the portal and in the entire platform is calculated by the product of the number of units i.e electricity used and the cost of each unit.

Since this cost can vary in different places or even during different schemes of the electricity board, the admin can change the cost per unit as per convenience.

Some electric power is consumed by devices when they are not active or under standby, since they are still plugged in. this little amount of power might not be significant for a day or a week, but when considering monthly or annual usage this can take from 3 to 10 percent of the total bill.

  5.  Press Save.
