Chapter 15—Power Track
6 The Home Control Assistant
The power cost is at the bottom on the dialog. You can usually get this information from a power
company bill. In some locations the power cost varies with time or day or usage over the billing
cycle. In this case just enter an approximate average value. For these purposes this is sufficiently
accurate.
While you are in this dialog you may want to enter the start and end dates of your billing cycle.
Again, this can be determined from your last billing statement. These dates are used by the
Historical Power Graphs which are described in the next section.
Historical Power Graphs
While the current power graph is useful it really only reports on what you probably already know –
what’s on right now. Historical Power Graphs are where the real action is!
By plotting the power usage for one or more devices or rooms over a period of time you can easily
see what are the biggest power users and then see if their power usage can be reduced.
Unlike the current power graph, no setup is needed other than enabling Power Track on one or
more devices.
A graph can be constructed for these time periods:
 Last 12 Hours
 Last 24 Hours
 Last 48 Hours
 Current Week – Sunday to Saturday
 Previous Week – Sunday to Saturday
 Last 7 Days
 Last 14 Days
 Last 30 Days
