Rounding setting for kWh meters etc.

Post by bbqkees »

I want to make a suggestion for the kWh meters.
The overview panel is too accurate.

It shows the total usage in 3 decimals, which is not necessary at all.

It would be nice if there would be a rounding setting in the Settings menu for this.
So one setting for W(h) and one for kW(h).

One decimal or even zero would be sufficient for a better overview.

For Watt and Today, 2 or 3 decimals can be OK.
For Total, none or 1 decimal is OK.

Hi,
Perhaps for some devices 1 kWh be a little value, think about a swimming pool motor or so. But if you think in lights or a TV or a freezer... 1 kWh is a high quantity. Example: a led light consumes about 10 watts it needs about 100 hours! for 1 kwh. In this situation 1 kwh is too big and we need decimals, in the example this light working for 5 hours (I think it's a good media) consumes about 0,05 kWh so we need 2 decimals.
Today electric device in our homes are more efficient and need less energy than some years ago.
Perhaps a good idea would be to create a property to set the number of decimals in a counter device.
