The Billing Date setting in the Emporia app allows you to align the display of monthly energy usage data with your billing cycle, rather than the standard calendar month. When a billing date is configured for a device, the app recalculates usage data to align with the specified billing cycle.
Key Features
Billing Alignment: Data is recalculated to match your selected billing period, from the chosen date of one month to the day before that date in the following month.
Home Screen Impact: This setting affects how measurements are displayed on the Home screen of the app. It no longer applies to the Graphs view, as the graphing functionality now features scrollable and pannable navigation, enabling effortless browsing of energy data across any date range.
Current Limitations: The Billing Date can be set up to the 28th of the month. Dynamic billing cycles (e.g., cycles with varying lengths) are not yet supported but are under consideration for future updates.
How to Change the Billing Date Setting
Open the app and tap the Menu (☰) icon in the top left corner.
Navigate to Household Info under Settings.
Select Billing Date.
Choose the device for which you want to set the billing date.
Pick the desired date from the calendar and tap Save.
Example: Setting the billing date to the 8th means your billing month will run from the 8th of one month to the 7th of the next month.
