What does it mean?
See what you’re using
Your Trio II monitor makes your
electricity and gas consumption
visible, taking the guesswork out of
understanding how much your home
uses - both right now and historically.
What is a kWh?
Electrical and gas energy consumption
is measured in kWh (kilowatt hours) -
traditionally known as 'units'.
As items within the home consume
energy during the day, the kWh total
increases.
A kW (or kilowatt) is the rate at which
energy is being consumed, so using
1.5kW for 1 hour would result in
1.5kWh of energy consumed.
It’s about now ...
In the same way your car shows how
fast your car is travelling, the electricity
speedometer on the left of the Home
screen shows how much electricity
your home is consuming now.
Similarly, the ame shows you how
much gas has been consumed within
the past 30 minutes.
The electricity speedometer is updated
every few seconds and the gas ame
every 30 minutes.
To make it even easier to understand
the hourly rates of consumption can
show the rate of consumption in cost
(£) and energy or power (kW).
For example, if the monitor says £0.15
for the rate of electricity consumption,
then this means that if the rate
remained the same it would cost 15p
for the next hour.
Less is more
The lower the hourly rate of
consumption, the less it will cost and
the more you can save.
It is typical of a medium sized house to
use around 250Wh or 4p per hour of
electricity - so see how low you can get
the speedometer.
If, when you have your lights o, your
house is using more than this rate,
What does it mean?
7
have a look around the home and see
if any appliances can be turned o.
The gas ame should be o when your
boiler and cooker have not been used
for 30 minutes.
What is normal?
Don’t worry if every now and again the
usage is high - this can be normal.
The image below shows where the
electricity speedometer will typically be
when using certain appliances.
Typical ‘base load’
Boiling a kettle
Evening time
How can I use less?
Look for appliances around the home
that are not always being used and
can be switched o.
Often it’s items such as a games
console, sound system or even a clock
radio in the spare room. Experiment
with switching appliances o and
see what aect that has on the
speedometer.
Other ways to save include having
less water in the kettle (only boil
what you intend to use), lowering the
temperature on the washing machine
or raising the temperature of the
freezer (-18C is cold enough).

Getting Started
Meter Connection
The screen will show Connecting to
smart meter... for up to 5 minutes
while the monitor connects to the
smart meter(s) in your home.
Should the screen show No Network
then you will need to contact your
energy provider to complete the
installation.
If the screen shows Lost Network,
then you may need to move the
monitor closer to your smart meter(s)
to re-establish the connection.
You can check the strength of the
signal to the smart meter(s) by
pressing the top button on the
monitor.
Connection Established
Once your monitor has successfully
established a connection to your
smart meter(s), your Trio II will
show the current consumption for
electricity, recent gas usage and the
house temperature.
If your monitor loses connection to the
smart meter(s), then it will show the
following alert:
Try moving the Trio II closer to the
smart meter(s) to re-connect.

Home Screen
Overview
The Home screen is broken down
into two or three tabs, depending on

automatically show the Home screen
once connected to the smart meter(s).
You can also, at any time, press the
button on the top of the monitor to
return to the Home screen.
Pressing the top button while on
this screen will then show the Quick

Trio II |User Manual
Energy Now
The Energy now screen is divided in
half, with the left side being about
Electricity consumption now and the
right about Gas consumption and the
temperature (where available) within
the home.
Depending on your smart meter
conguration, only the available energy
types will be shown - the gas ame will
not be shown if you do not have a gas
smart meter, for example.
This is the default screen shown when
the monitor has started up, when the
top button has been pressed or when
the monitor has not been used for a
period of time.
Touching the kW or £icon will change
the values from being shown in cost as
£/hr and energy as kW.
