      The web and app say at the top for –

      Seconds and minutes: “Energy Use in kW”
      Hours and longer: “Energy Use in kWh”
      I feel a need to point out that minutes and seconds are actually a “Power Use in kW”

      Furthermore, for the Unit of Measurement Amps they all say: “Energy Use in Amps”
      Here, 1) for hours and longer, the unit shown is “Ah,” and 2) neither A nor Ah are an energy unit.

      Similarly, the other “units” (gasoline, miles, currency, carbon) aren’t correct between power and energy either (and, for example, a gallon of gas is an “energy” unit, not a power unit), and carbon doesn’t even have a unit.  Is it g, lb, what?

      I know power and energy and their units are confused a lot, but it seems like this app especially should get that right …. if nothing else, it’ll make it all a lot more credible 😉

      P.S. Short of these Physics 101 issues, I love the Emporia unit and app 🙂

      @he thanks for pointing this out, I have sent this onto the Web development and our Engineers for review and validation.   Really appreciate the feedback.

      Not to mention, this makes the cost view inaccurate do to the fact the $ amount is based off of kw calculations

       

      PSS. I’m lovin it too.
