You can even call the support line and they will help you out with it. Once you get the hang of it you can pull up the time to watch in very high detail every bump of the power. Jerry On Mon, Jan 27, 2020, 3:02 PM Howie Michaelson wrote: > Jerry, > Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to set up

Howie, Under the “view” tab on egauge’s portal, you can select a few different options. “Bunny Kiosk” for example, will display rudimentary consumption and generation stats. “ Sleek Kiosk” is is another option that isn’t as granular and in the weeds as the myriad parameter choices on the normal
