    Energy cost on the dashboard looks wrong, where do I set the price per kWh?

    Each of our presses has an energy meter and the kWh value is already read into Proveris as a tag. The dashboard shows an energy summary with a cost value, but the cost doesn't match our electricity bill at all, it looks far too low.
    I suspect the price is still a default value. Where is the unit price configured in the web version? Also, our tariff has different prices for day and night. Can Proveris handle that, or should I enter an average?

    The unit price is set in SETTINGS > ENERGY, in the field Cost per 1 kWh ($). If the cost on the dashboard looks unrealistic, this value has most likely never been changed. Enter your current price there and save.
    A few checks before you compare with the bill again:
    1. The kWh tag itself. Open LIVE > TAG and watch the energy tag for a few minutes. Confirm the value and unit are what you expect. Many meters report Wh, or kWh with a multiplier, and a factor of 1000 is the most common reason energy figures don't match.
    2. Machine link. Make sure the energy tag is linked to the correct machine in the machine configuration. A tag on the wrong machine shifts the cost from one press to another.
    3. Same time range. The bill covers a calendar month and the whole site, including compressors, lighting and offices. Proveris shows only the machines you measure. Compare like with like.
    Day/night tariffs
    The setting is a single price per kWh. For a multi-rate tariff, the practical approach is to enter a weighted average based on your typical day/night consumption split, and review it when the tariff changes. If time-of-use pricing is important for your decisions, please let us know through the Pre-Sales or General discussion threads so we can record the requirement.
    Also note that the cost is a calculated estimate for comparing machines and products, not an accounting value.
