P1 Meter chart, displaying generated energy as negative bar values

Hi all ,

Today"s latest beta,15352, offers us a changed bar graph view for negative values.

While previously the bar for generated energy was next to the bar of consumed energy, it has been changed to a negative bar.

I'm not that happy with the change, for the following reasons:

1. Comparison between consumed and produced energy is much more difficult and not very intuitive.

2. The more you have produced the lower the bar goes. This is not the way the human brains work.

These 2 things make that the bar graph is less useful then in the past.

What is the opinion of other users?

Regards

Perhaps a screenshot would help clarifying.

It's under development and todays beta displays the previous values way better
It's a very common way to display it like this and just play with this for a week before saying 'everything from the past is better', sounds like an old man :mrgreen:

Hello @gizmocuz,

Yes perhaps I have to learn to handle it. I have not been able to play with it much, as I was on holiday.

Uhh, you are talking like my grandchildren. I have to accept that :D
