@Anwi505 - Can you please make some notes about the power/energy calculations you've done with the town.

I've changed the power scaling in 617936e1254bf84e719bfafaa01bf5a945bd86f0 so that the meter goes to 5 kW(units unlabelled), and the 4 thresholds should also make practical sense(1kW, 2kW, 3kW, 4kW). Right now the meter has no labelled units. I'm not sure if we want to label it as kW, since the only other units in the GUI are mm and mNm(unlabelled), and kW would be scaled units, where mm are not.

nickross4444 commented 3 years ago

We've decided to leave the units on the power meter unlabeled.
