History time off by 3 hours
Kinda useless when you look at your power usage in history and the times are all off 🤷♂️ it makes figuring out what is actually going on really mind boggling. Who can I talk to to get this fixed? Tried #bchydro on twitter and the directed me to the EV department 😂
Could be so much better
There is lots of useful information in this app, but it has glitches. Sometimes the information it presents is clearly not correct. The temperatures are weird and not actually the real temperatures on the ground. Or they just drop off the screen completely. The app frequently conks out and is unable to load data. Sometimes the data is not visible. For example with the monthly amounts for consumed kWh, there are days when I login and I can see every month of the year and then there are other days when I login and can only see the last two months. I’m not sure why the energy bridge is useful… you don’t actually need it to run any of your smart devices. It’s pretty much something just for electricity nerds, I think. I am easily able to see which appliances and functions within my household are consuming the most energy. If you’re paying any attention whatsoever, you don’t need the energy bridge. You just have to remember what you did yesterday and when. This app could be so much better. it has plenty of potential.
Really useful
I don’t understand stand the negative reviews. We find this app really handy to keep ourselves on budget. Plus, it’s free! It’s easy to set a budget amount, and shows you where you’ve gone over. It’s really helped us.
Useful but many bugs
A very useful app but many frustrating bugs, including: - “power estimated so far” doesn’t update through the day - some challenges never update to show completed after the objective is met, such as reduce energy by 5% for a week - under Energy Score the daily budget isn’t consistent with the budget that has been set. Always shows budget met 0/7 days for the week
Bug fixes and performance improvements.
