c) PRODUCT FUNCTIONS

Tap one of the plug icons to display the device screen to control its functions. 
 
  • Energy consumption: to display the electrical consumption of the device plugged in. You can check the energy consumption per hour, per day and per month for the last months just by clicking on the electricity consumption displayed. To calculate the money spent, you need to input the price per kWh by clicking on "Price/kWh." You can also view the complete monthly overview by clicking on the chart under "Monthly Overview" or the annual overview by clicking on the chart under "Yearly Overview" and download it as a .CSV file.
    The hourly consumption can only be displayed for the last 7 days. The daily consumption can only be displayed for the last 365 days.There is no display limit for monthly consumption.
    It is important to note that the power consumption of a product is always calculated with the multiplication of current, voltage and the power factor (the phase difference between the voltage and the current: this can vary from 0.5 to 1.)
    Power = u * i * cos(φ)
    Where u is the voltage, i is the current and cos(φ) is the power factor of the device.
  • Time schedule: to set a time schedule for turning the plug on/off.
  • Timer: to set a countdown for switching on/off the plug automatically after a defined time has expired.
  • Fixed time cycle: to switch on/off the plug according to a fixed time cycle.

ADDING MATTER PRODUCTS TO ANOTHER HOME NETWORK OR MATTER FABRICS

Once the Matter device is successfully added to the SMART+ App, you can generate the QR code or numeric code for the other Matter Fabrics or Ecosystems. Therefore, you need to generate a new QR code or numeric code here. This QR code or numeric code can be found under the option "Add Matter Device to Another Home Network" in the settings for the product. This QR code or Numeric code can then be scanned or entered in the other ecosystem. You can generate the QR code anytime with "Generate again".

The QR and numeric codes are valid for 5 minutes; after that, a new QR and numeric code must be generated. There is a limit of maximum 5 Fabrics which can be linked to each Product.
