Reading an Electric meter?

Hilltop · Post by **Hilltop** » Sat 03 Oct 2015 1:11 pm

I recall reading a posting some time ago regarding the method of reading a smart electricity meter. I have looked in all the places I can think of (including the mothballed Cyprus 44) and can't find it. Can anyone assist?

Thanks.

Top right hand side is a big blue button. Press it - about five times - till the Kwh total appears. If yours is really new then the figure will be very small. Only way I know of.

My meter scrolls through a few different sets of numbers. I just wait for the kWh and record it.

I press big blue button five times until it's all zero then the next press is the kWh that's the reading you need.

Out of interest how many kWh do people use daily or weekly

I would imagine it would be affected whether you have a pool or not.

I agree running a pool will change things but still interesting so pool or no pool averages also if you are running air con at night

We are two people with a jacuzzi and we are averaging 15 a day or with air con all night in bedroom 18 a day
