Hi All, 

 

Sorry if this has been posted before but I have a chameolen home display and whilst it works well I don’t understand some of the symbols. 

Specifically on the “Now” screen where it shows a pylon with an arrow pointing towards it. I have solar panels on my property so I have inferred that it could mean I’m exporting generation back to the grid but it would be useful to have a guide explaining if this is correct and the other symbols the IHD can show from time to time. 

 

Thanks in advance and once again, I apologise if this has been covered before.

Hi ​@sb123 ,

The pylon one is indeed for active exports.

Any others you need us to explain? Let me know! :)

Thank you very much for the super fast reply as ever. 

 

The value being shown as exported isn’t accurate according to my invertor monitoring app….is there some configuration I could do to improve this or is it just factory set and “indicative” rather than meaning to be accurate?

It’d be what the Smart Meter itself is detecting

Fair enough. I can live with it as I can trust my inverter app so not the end of the world. Thanks again.
