Energy today

Electricity, solar, gas and water today, what they cost or saved, and the change.

Size
6 × 3.5 tiles, from 2 × 2 to 12 × 6

One row per meter: what it has used so far today (for electricity, what was taken from the grid, as Homey counts it), what that cost, and how that compares with an earlier day, over the hours as small bars with the earlier day’s behind them. What today has cost altogether sits in the header.

With solar panels, a Solar row follows Electricity: what the panels made so far, what the power used at home saved at the price of each hour (what went to the grid is already off Electricity’s cost), and how that compares with yesterday at the same time, where more is good. Solar always compares with yesterday, since a usual day says little about the sun. Panels without an energy meter still count: their amount is worked out from their power and gets a small ≈ before it; tap or hover it to read why.

The meters are the ones you chose in Energy settings, or found by themselves. Electricity is costed at the price of each hour, gas and water at the price per m³ you set there. A meter your Homey doesn’t have gets no row. Medium tiles drop the bars, and small ones keep only the amounts.

What tapping the tile does. It can open a dashboard (as a page or a popup) or a flow. Until you choose, it does nothing.
