SmartEnergy Monitor User Guide Savant Confidential and Proprietary 4
Overview
The Energy Monitor User Interface is accessed by tapping the
Energy category icon introduced in the Savant TrueControl app
version 43.2.1 or later. Within the Energy category are the following
service icons, each with its own screen:
Dashboard
See an overview of the energy activity in the system. A large gauge
shows current net power usage, as well as a breakdown of all circuits
in your system. Smaller gauges show total energy consumption and
production, and a graph shows recent energy usage history.
Table
The table lists all of the circuits in the system and shows a real-time
reading, in watts, plus a cumulative total over a customizable time
range. Sort by any column, and display detailed electrical information
about individual circuits.
Meters
Pick any group using the popover in the Meters button, and this
screen will show the real-time reading for each circuit in that group.
History
See a detailed view of energy usage over a selectable time range.
Change the types to see an estimate of cost and carbon footprint.
Rates
Enter the rates listed on your energy bill, and the app"will be able to
provide estimates of energy cost for each circuit. If your bill lists
different peak and off-peak rates, add a row for each time segment.

The Dashboard gives you an at-a-glance overview of your energy usage. You can see
your current net power usage and separate smaller gauges for total consumption and
production. The Dashboard is set up such that you can see the most important
information (your net energy usage) from across the room. As you get closer, more
detailed information is visible
SmartEnergy Monitor User Guide Savant Confidential and Proprietary 6
Under the needle of the main gauge, a set of pie slices shows you a breakdown of each
circuitʼs contribution to your total consumption. Pie slices flash green when they get
smaller and red when they get larger, to indicate decreases or increases in energy
usage. Tap the pie slice for a group of circuits to zoom in on that group, allowing you to
easily identify high-usage devices. If your system has device control enabled, press and
hold any pie slice to display a button to go to control that device. You can see a list of
any circuits or groups that are too small to show labels by tapping the “More” tab at the
bottom of the pie slices. Tap a circuit or group in this list to zoom into it. If your system
has device control enabled, tap the blue right-facing arrow button next to any circuit to
control it.
At the bottom of the dashboard is a graph which shows usage over time. If you have
tapped on a pie slice to zoom in on a particular circuit or group, the graph will show
usage for just that group. Above the graph are buttons to choose the time range (1 hour,
1 day, 1 week, or 30 days) and types (kWh, pounds of carbon, or dollars) for the graph.
These buttons let you easily see an estimate of how much a particular device or group of
devices has cost you over time.

Use the table to see detailed real-time and historical energy usage information for your
entire system. If the list of circuits is too long to fit on the screen, you can scroll it
vertically. By default, the table is sorted by the current power reading, measured in watts,
in descending order. Circuits are grouped together, making it easy to identify your top
consumers or producers.
SmartEnergy Monitor User Guide Savant Confidential and Proprietary 8
The Net Power row shows the total of all circuits that have been assigned as net power.
However, if no circuits are assigned as net power, then the Net Power row shows the
difference between production and consumption.
The Production row shows the calculations of the sum of all production circuits.
The Consumption row shows the calculations of the sum of all consumption circuits.
Each row contains a small bar graph which indicateʼs that rowʼs magnitude in relation to
the other circuits. Circuits or groups that are producing more than they are consuming
have green bars and a green leaf icon.
Tap the column header for the Circuit column, Reading column, or History column to
sort by that column. It is also possible to change the display of some of the columns by
pressing and holding on the column header, which will display a list of display options:
Press and hold the Circuit column header to choose whether to display the items in a
Grouped or Ungrouped fashion. Choosing Ungrouped will hide the group headers
and allow the rows to be sorted individually.
Press and hold the History column header to choose whether to display history totals
for the last 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, or 30 days.
You can collapse all groups, hiding individual circuits, by tapping any blue beveled
group header row. Tap a group row again to expand all groups. Collapsing groups are
not available when the Circuit column is set to Ungrouped.
You can tap the individual values in the reading column and history column to cycle
through more types of information. Tapping any value in the reading column will cycle:
power (watts), volts, current (amps), and power factor. Tapping any value in the history
column will cycle: energy (kWh), cost ($), carbon footprint (lbs CO
2
).
If a circuit has been set up to allow for control through the Savant TrueControl app, it will
have a blue arrow at its right-hand edge. Tap this arrow to switch to the appropriate zone
or service.
The values displayed in the Group Header rows are the sum of all the values of the
circuit rows which make up each group.

contains more than six circuits, it will automatically be divided into sub-groups. For
example, if a group called Appliances contained ten circuits, it would appear in the
Groups picker as Appliances 1-6 and Appliances 7-10. The meters display the real-
time power readings for the selected circuits.
After choosing a group, tap the label next to any meter (including blank ones) to
customize the display further by choosing individual circuits or groups for each meter.

system; the Time range picker lets you see how the selected circuit or group has
behaved over the last hour, day, week, or thirty days, and the Types picker gives you
the option to see an estimate of how much the selected circuit or group has cost in kWh,
dollars, or pounds of carbon.
The value displayed in the Types picker reflects the total usage for the selected circuit
