The left of the screen shows the current rate of electricity consumption. As appliances and lights are switched on and off, the dial needle will move and the change will also be spoken.
Depending on your smart meter configuration, only the available fuel types will be shown - the gas flame will not be shown if you do not have a gas smart meter, for example.
This is the default screen shown when the Display has started up (unless one or more fuels are in prepayment mode - see the Prepay section).
Press the OK button to switch between cost per hour (£/hr) and energy usage now in kilowatts (kW).
Press the top-button (middle LED) to repeat the speech.
Electricity (left of the screen)
As your home uses more or less electricity, the dial needle will move around the dial.
The dial is divided into three segments - Low (green), Medium (amber) and High (red). As your usage changes the Display will speak to indicate Low, Medium or High electricity usage, and also speak the cost per hour or consumption now in watts or kilowatts for both electricity and gas. The Trio will not speak more than once a minute.
As the dial needle moves between the segments, the corresponding coloured LEDs on the top of the device will turn on. At a distance, you can quickly see if your home is using a small or large amount of electricity.
If your electricity consumption stays High (red), then the spoken consumption will be repeated after one minute and then every 10 minutes. The current rate of consumption can be shown as cost per hour or as kilowatts (kW).
Depending upon the Trio's display settings, the screen may be off, for example during the middle of the night. Your Display will not speak with the screen off, including alerts.
Press the top-button (middle LED) to repeat the speech.
Gas (right of the screen)
As your home uses more or less gas, the flame size will increase from Low to Medium to High.
This means at a distance, you can quickly see if your home is using a small or large amount of gas. As gas meters operate on batteries, readings are only updated every 30 minutes.
Like the electricity dial, gas consumption is also spoken; gas consumption is spoken at the same time the electricity consumption is spoken.
The current rate of consumption can be shown as cost per hour or as kilowatts (kW).
Press the top-button (middle LED) to repeat the speech.
