[FR] Ability to take into account power consumption lower than 1 hour per month #11

Currently the app doesn't take into account periodic high power consumption. There's no obvious minimum value for a time field, but minutes are not actually taken into consideration when calculating monthly consumption. One such consumer is a seldom used vacuum cleaner.

Hi @4ut0-M-4t That is very good idea. I tried to implement it soon once I have time. Thank you for you suggestion.

I hope the 1.2.02 version fixed the issue of minute not taken into consideration issue. For periodic high power consumption issue, I still have no idea what the ideal UI/UX for this. Let me think of it. Let me know you may have good suggestion for this.

Sorry for the delay. I've tested v1.2.02 and it works as expected now. As for the other issue, maybe you could bring a new item selection dialog called "Activity per month" in addition to the current "Activity per day". It won't be ideal solution designwise, but other ideas, such as smart selection, could make your coding life even harder.
