I’ve noticed that the three-decimal figures sometimes appear after a delay. I haven’t found out what the trigger is, but I agree that the integer display is intensely annoying.

PS A similar flaw affects the Usage pages. Most modern meters return data with three decimals, so there’s no excuse for not showing them here as well. Billing details happily do show readings to three places of decimals, so its easy to check the calculations for precision.

    While of zero practical value, its always comforting to know one isn't alone in perceiving a situation as being problematic! I'd noticed the delay on displaying the decimal figures, but that hasn't happened yesterday or today as yet.

    I've emailed customer support.
