PM5100 Graphing Energy Use?

[CPD]

Hi All, 

I have a PM5100 meter and thought using the QR code I could see my energy use and get graphs to show usage over time? IS this the case or do I need a PM5300 as I have since seen something about data loggers on this version? Any help would be great. thanks

Hi @CPD 

Please note that PM5100 series do not include onboard data logging capabilities. The QR code on the PM5100 typically links to product documentation or setup help, not to historical energy usage graphs.

Therefore, you cannot view usage trends or graphs directly from the meter without connecting it to an external system (like PME or a BMS with logging capabilities).

PM5300 series Includes data logging features. They can store historical energy data, which allows for graphing and trend analysis. Better suited for users who want to track energy usage over time without relying solely on external systems. 

If you're looking to view energy usage graphs and trends directly, you'll likely need the PM5300 or a higher model in the PM5000 series.

Best Regards,
