Overview (Live Monitor)	Purple means it is showing the amount of energy that your currently consuming whether from Solar PV Generation and/or the Grid.

Data resolution

The Live Monitor button can be expanded into the Live Monitor graph by clicking it. The Live Monitor Graph presents the energy data at your site for the last 60 minutes. Please refer to the image below.
 

In default, the Live Monitor records data every 1 minute. However, the 5-second live mode on the Live Monitor is enabled the moment you visit the dashboard and will last for 10 minutes. The 5-second live mode is indicated by the light grey shaded regions as shown in the image above. Please try to refresh the page if the 5-second live mode doesn’t kick in after 30 seconds of visiting the dashboard.

Please try to refresh the page if the Solar PV Generation and the Consumption graphs appear to be mirroring one another. Otherwise click Contact Us below if the issue persists.

My Live Monitor is not there
