IAMMETER-Cloud Adds Daily Supply Charge Option
Daily “Supply Charge” Option Added in IAMMETER-Cloud
Path: My Place → Edit → Power Tariff (Grid Consumption)
IAMMETER-Cloud now supports entering a daily “supply charge” in addition to the previous monthly-only option.
This daily input aligns much better with how most electricity retailers structure their bills, as shown below:
Previously, users had to convert daily supply charges into a monthly equivalent (e.g., daily × 30) and enter that figure in the monthly field. This led to small calculation errors in months with 28, 29, or 31 days. While minor, these errors could still affect the accuracy of your bill.
With the new daily supply charge option, IAMMETER-Cloud ensures 100% accurate bill calculations with no such discrepancies.
