- You might have a “smart” meter but not yet have access to its brain. Here’s a video on how you can read your own meter between bills. It’s good for Nova Scotia, but may be helpful for other communities. Let me know!
Yesterday there were 2 brown outs with the matter of a minute and today reading up around 3kwh, was running stable 6 to 8 kwh daily,but today 12kwh , The story, meter reading 08/02/2023 11:45am 3347 ,2 power brown outs around 3pm, Next meter reading 08/03/2023 8:30pm 3359 , usage ain't changed much,tho no compensation for extra 8 hours, keep meter reading book
How do I know when the meter was last changed?
You could ask your power utility. Otherwise, if you keep your bills or have access to your data online, look for when the reading was zero.
Does it restart every two months and is it that number x 17 cents ?
No, the kWh continually updates and yes, that is about the current rate. Thanks for watching!
That digital readout that looks like a bunch of 8s is to verify that the screen is not defective (for example, the number 8 doesn't appear to be a 6).
Hi friend, I live in Florida, and I have TECO energy. I have the same exact meter installed on my how the only difference is that I have solar panels and I have more than those screens, Test -> SyncNet -> rHxxxx -> r3g ->. After this, I have 4 more reading displays. Where can I get some information on how to read this meter?
Could you ask your power utility?
I would like to know the immediate rate at which the power is being used, not have to average it out myself over hours. The old analog meter had the spinning wheel that showed you this. How is it that a digital meter actually shows LESS detail?
I agree
heyy small world, but i wanted to know what the second number is, is peak power your highest draw? over what time range :)?
It’s an all-time peak power draw in kW. It never seems to reset. It is used in certain commercial rate accounts, not for residential (so far).
I tried to ask NS Power about that but they would not tell me. I think it is something like you say, in units of kW.
Hi Dave: There's a super bright star in the south east sky right now (Jan 1, 6:37am) - what is that?
Venus
Useful but I like complete details too
no, it was dumber than just useful
Thank you for your helpful assessment
Mine says 80,000 kWh for the total is that a month?!
That’s most likely the total since the meter was switched on. Typical consumption is 600 kWh per month for household stuff, plus extra for heating and cooling.
What if it says "no rad " instead of reg?
Ignore this, ignore that, ignore that, read this, ignore that and ignoe this.
How about telling us what those other readings *are*. THAT would be useful. What you showed us was listed in the FAQ for smart meters on NS power's website.
I’m sorry it was not helpful to you-it was to many others. The NS Power website must have been updated since I made the video.
What does the total kilowatt hour mean? Is that everything you’ve used since the meter was installed? Is that what you used last month or is it what you’re currently drawing? I don’t know what to do with that number. Thanks in advance.
Find a way to force Emera to sell for government ownership at $2 billions. NS cannot afford it but Canadian tax payers can help deliver us from Emera.
