Add real time energy usage list by color

Things that would be really nice to include before the boxes are sent off (we don't know if this is hard or not) real time energy usage list by color on the outside of the pie chart. Updating every 30 seconds if not real time. So when the chart is full, each color has a notation for how much of the total it used in the designated time.

and:

Would it be possible to add on the side a notation and real time measure of how much each plug is drawing. For example, if I have 2 things plugged in on red and blue plugs, and the time is set to 1kWh it will take a long time to even see a sliver of color. Can we add on the outside of the pie chart a list by color of how much energy it has used . it can update every 30 seconds or so. Then at the end, when the pie chart is full, on the side it would show the total energy that each appliance used (the total would be the amount set at the begining) Does that make sense?

Makes sense and would be useful. This can be just as real-time as the central chart. Not sure about the design though, I like how the UI currently revolves around just one circle in the middle, as a coherent measurement tool (rather than a full energy info dashboard).

I expect to be able to try this in the end of this month, but that may not give enough time for testing…?

By the end of the month is ok, I would say. That means we can't include it in the test kits, but in the 20 kits for the boxes. As long it works well when we distribute the 20 boxes it's ok not to test it in the KomTek test group.

Fixed. Please try and see whether this works well for you.
