What does it mean?
See what you’re using
Your Trio Display makes your electricity and gas consumption visible,
taking the guesswork out of understanding how much your home
uses - both right now and historically.
What is a kWh?
Electrical and gas energy consumption is measured in kilowatt
hours (kWh) - traditionally known as 'units'.
As items within the home consume energy during the day, the kWh
total increases.
A kW (or kilowatt) is the rate at which energy is being consumed, so
using 1.5kW for 1 hour would result in 1.5kWh of energy consumed.
It’s about now ...
In the same way your car shows how fast your car is travelling, the
electricity speedometer on the left of the Home screen shows how
much electricity your home is consuming now.
Similarly, the ame shows you how much gas has been consumed
within the past 30 minutes.
The electricity speedometer is updated every few seconds and the
gas ame every 30 minutes.
To make it even easier to understand the rate of consumption,
the Trio can show the rate of consumption in cost per hour (£) and
energy or power (kW).
For example, if the Display says £0.15 for the rate of electricity
consumption, then this means that if the rate remained the same it
would cost 15p for the next hour.
Trio .User manual What does it mean?

Less is more
The lower the hourly rate of consumption, the less it will cost and the
more you can save.
A typical medium sized house will use approximately 3100 kilowatt
hours of electricity per year*, or approximately 5p per hour.
1 Watt of electricity running 24 hours a day costs around £1.30 a
year. Therefore at bedtime, if your display is showing approximately
200 Watts, this will costing appropriately £260 a year. This is
approximately 40% of average electricity bill. Reducing this by 70W,
would save over £90.
The gas ame should be off when your boiler and cooker have not
been used for 30 minutes.

How can I use less?
Look for appliances around the home that are not always being
used and can be switched off.
Often it’s items such as a games console, sound system or even a
clock radio in the spare room. Experiment with switching appliances
off and see what affect that has on the electricity usage.
Other ways to save include having less water in the kettle (only boil
what you intend to use), lowering the temperature on the washing
machine, or turn down your thermostat by 1 ºC - this could save £75
per year*.

What is normal?
Don’t worry if now and again the usage is high - this can
be normal.
Your electricity usage varies as things are switched on and
off in your house.
Electricity usage can be low (green), medium (orange) or high (red).
Boiling a kettle for example will mean for a short period of time your
house usage will be medium (orange); in the evening or morning
time it might also be medium (orange)- this is perfectly normal.
If you have electric or storage heating, then it is possible to
see high usage (red) when the heating is being used.
During other periods the usage should be low (green), especially
when you are heading to bed.
Depending on your smart meter, the maximum rate of consumption
the dial can show can be adjusted. See 'Advanced' on page 28

Getting started
Meter connection
Each time the Display is turned on it will show Connecting to smart
meter... for up to 5 minutes while the Display connects to the smart
meter(s) in your home.
Should the screen show No Network then you will need to contact
your energy provider to complete the installation.
If the screen shows Lost Network, then you may need to move the
Display closer to your smart meter(s) to re-establish the connection.
You can check the strength of the signal to the smart meter(s) by
looking at the land micons in the top left hand corner of the screen
Connection established
Once your Display has successfully established a connection to your
smart meter(s), your Trio will show the current consumption for
electricity and recent gas usage.
If your Display loses connection to the smart meter(s), then it
will show the alert above. Try moving the Trio closer to the smart
meter(s) to re-connect.
