For correct operation you MUST:
● Choose between a ‘Flat’ (default) or a ‘Flexible’ tariff
● Set your actual tariff values in c/kWh
See the section ‘Change your Pipit’s default settings’ for details of how to set these values.
Electricity generation scenario
The power generation dial replaces the power usage dial when the power generated (e.g. from solar panels) is
greater than the power being consumed. By default, the left-hand section shows the instantaneous net value
(consumption minus generation), denoted by ‘GEN’. A negative value below the dial indicates that more power
is being generated than consumed. The scaling on the dial changes according to the generation capacity (kW)
set by the user (configurable from the Settings menu). The Sticky screen by default shows the cost ($) of net
electricity consumed (consumption minus generation) so far today, along with the daily consumption target, if
configured.
The following table describes the significance of the displayed indicators and the function of each button:
Significance of displayed indicators Function of each button
● Instantaneous power level: ‘ECO’
(Economy) for low, ‘MED’ (Medium) for
moderate and ‘HI’ for high demand
level; GEN for electricity generation.
● Power indicator dial: indicative real-
time power in kW is shown shaded
inside the dial.
● Menu button: accesses the main menu.
● Unit selection button: toggles the display
between real-time demand (kW), energy cost
($/hr) or carbon emissions (CO
2
kg/hr); the label
on the button shows the units of the value
currently being displayed.
● View selection button: toggles the sticky screen
display between daily total, compare day,
compare week and current tariff.

6.3.1 Sticky screen display
The sticky screen shows the daily cost of electricity against the preset target threshold, which is user
configurable from the Settings menu. The View selection button on the home screen accesses comparisons of
the current day’s or week’s data with the previous day’s or week’s data. It can also show the currently active
tariff and the next applicable tariff, along with its activation time. The various displays accessible with the View
