You can also select periods of low Charging rate.
During this time period you can choose a different power output from the
Charger (to reduce costs at peak times).

click Add.

Viewing Your Energy Analysis
Select “Energy” from the bottom of Home menu. Your current month’s kWh usage
will be displayed.
You can also:
- select any historical month
- export to PDF
- add a unit of electricity cost to work out the monetary cost of charging
Load Balancing From External Meter
Your Garo GLB-SMART can connect to an external Meter (Garo GNM100-RS485) to
manage the amount of power used in your home and safely distribute it between
the Charger and appliances. The appliances in the home are given priority.
Should their consumption climb to a threshold which could exceed the main fuse
if full EV Charging is present, the GLB-SMART will reduce its charging rate
until the appliances power has reduced. You can view the status of the Load
Balancing System by selecting the Load Balancing Meter as shown below.
