Welcome Congratulations on the purchase of your Aztech In‐Home Display (IHD)! This Configuration Manual describes how to set your user preferences, configure and trouble shoot your IHD. Your Aztech In‐Home Display provides you with intuitive, actionable and timely information about your whole home electricity usage. Your display communicates wirelessly to the Smart electricity meter installed on your home to present electricity used, its estimated cost, and historical usage information.
Features of Your In-Home Display (IHD) Light Arc The light arc color reflects the relative price of electricity (where supported by utility): green/ lowest; yellow/ mid; red/ highest. If your utility only uses a single price for all electricity use, the light arc will be green. The light arc moves from left to right as energy is consumed. The faster the movement, the more electricity you are using.
Powering Your In-Home Display Powering Up Plug the power adapter into a 120V electrical outlet. Press the middle √ button to turn the device on. Battery Operation Your IHD also supports battery powered operation for short periods so that you can take the display throughout your home and explore how the use of different appliances impacts your energy consumption.

New pricing will not alter previously stored electricity costs.
