Introduction
Did you know that an average Indian household wastes about 20-30% of the electricity it receives?
Well, be it due to inefficient use, old and outdated appliances, or the fluctuations in the load, the crux of the matter is that energy wastage does lead to impromptu higher bills whether or not you realize it.
And while there are several ways to minimize the loss or wastage of energy, some are more promising than others.
Speaking of it, an electricity usage monitor, which is used to reduce the power consumption of your home, is one of the best ways to cut energy waste and the cost of electricity in the end.
Built with smart energy-saving features, an advanced energy monitor like “Emerald” can help you track and manage the electricity usage of your home in real-time without having to get familiar with your energy meter manually.
Enhanced with all the latest features, Emerald helps you get live insights on your energy usage while highlighting those areas and appliances that tend to waste a lot of electricity in the process including stand-by modes, vampire drains, and phantom loads.
With its advanced bill calculation and energy budgeting features, Emerald can help you set a limit to how much energy should be used by an appliance or your house as a whole and reduce the monthly bills all the while.
Powered by an equally smart mobile app Enciser, it alerts you from time to time when you are about to reach and exceed the limit so you don’t end up paying more than your allocated energy budget.
The best part- Enciser’s Emerald is quite easy to use and does not take a lot of effort to install.
To help you get started the right way, here’s our complete guide that you can follow through:
Step 1: Setting Up the Emerald Electricity Usage Monitor
Our smart energy monitor “Emerald” comes with a complete installation kit that includes everything you may need to DIY its initial setup.
Compatible with both single-phase and three-phase meters, it can be easily mounted on your smart energy meter to sense and transmit the energy consumption of your home in real-time.
Once attached to the meter, you can turn it on by pressing and holding the power button that is present at the back and pair it with the Enciser app by downloading it on your iPhone or Android.
Thanks to its powerful Bluetooth 5.0 technology, it does not take long to connect it to your home’s Internet network either.
As soon as it connects to the Internet, you can start monitoring your household’s power consumption on the app through its intuitive interface.

Step 2: Using Real-Time Monitoring to Track Overall Energy Usage
As a smart energy monitoring device, Enciser shows you a live feed of your home’s energy usage in a variety of ways including daily, weekly, and monthly updates.
Or it can be used to view the entire energy usage of your home based on live, average, and total units.
Being an intuitive and user-friendly interface, Enciser shows you all of these stats and more through comprehensive charts and graphs that you can use to adjust the power consumption of your home remotely from wherever you are.
With its advanced AI-learning capabilities, Emerald can also identify energy vampires or high-energy devices at your home to plan and adjust your usage accordingly.
For instance, recognizing peak and non-peak hours to make well-informed decisions when it comes to running high-energy-consuming devices. Or warning you about excessive use or loss of energy by specific rooms and appliances!
Due to the wide array of information it provides you in real-time, Emerald can help you track, manage, and eventually reduce your energy usage and wastage for lower utility bills as well as a lack of environmental impact right through your fingertips.
Step 3: Setting Energy Budgets and Receiving Alerts
Along with real-time tracking, Emerald lets you set your monthly energy budgets in advance depending on your past usage or records using the app.
Being sensor-based and data-driven, it keeps you updated with your current usage and progress through regular alerts and notifications and warns you about the same, especially when you’re about to reach or exceed the limit.
Similarly, it also sends you alerts in case of high-usage scenarios or when a device or appliance is consuming more electricity than anticipated.
By keeping you to up-to-date with your home’s energy usage as you go about your daily routine, Enciser becomes a handy way to take charge of your home’s power supply whether you are there or not.
With instant alerts and notifications, you can be in a far better place to take the necessary action like switching off the devices in peak hours or operating them during non-peak hours to avoid a higher cost of utility and unwarranted bill surprises.
Step 4: Estimating and Reducing Your Energy Bills
Bill calculation is yet another useful application of our smart energy monitor that you can use to get an educated estimate of your upcoming electricity bill.
Based on the duration, data, and usage patterns, Emerald lets you calculate your energy bills well in advance by taking your daily, weekly, and monthly usage into account.
Not only that! As an AI-enabled smart electricity advisor, it can provide you with meaningful insights and suggestions on how you can save electricity by cutting down on unnecessary usage or wastage.
If not for anything, by getting an accurate estimate of your upcoming bill in advance, you can at least figure out a way to make your electricity payments in time!
Step 5: Analyzing Trends to Cut Energy Waste
While Emerald does come with some of the most latest and innovative features, none would make any sense if a user is not proactive enough.
That is, given the numerous forms of data it provides including real-time and usage-based statistics, to make the most of it, you must take the initiative in reviewing your consumption patterns over time.
By closely analyzing the data trends, you can easily figure out the inefficiencies such as high energy drains, stand-by modes, and peak-hours consumption rates (that are rather high when compared to units used during off-peak hours).
Standing toe-to-toe with your energy efficiency requirements, Enciser also sends you regular tips and suggestions based on these trends to further help you take actionable steps such as adjusting heating/cooling devices or unplugging energy-draining systems during peak hours or when not in use.
All-in-all, analyzing these trends can significantly help you in the long run when it comes to saving energy, reducing your bills, and minimizing your household’s carbon footprint in your immediate surroundings.
Step 6: Maximizing the Benefits of an Electricity Usage Monitor
Last but not least, Emerald can be used in more ways than you can think of, especially when you combine its wide variety of features.
By putting good use of its real-time tracking, advanced budgeting, and bill calculation features, users can manage the power supply or the consumption of electricity at home, office, or workspace better than ever.
As you go about it, the smart electricity advisor Enciser keeps on learning your usage patterns and behaviours while encouraging you to adopt the practice of energy efficiency.
By instilling the habit of using energy responsibly, Enciser trains you to not only reduce your monthly electricity bills but also its unnecessary wastage in the long term. Ultimately, helping you gain a sustainable lifestyle and contribute to a cleaner and greener future for generations to come.
