==== Demand monitor ====

=== Description ===

This driver produces metrics based on user defined energy consumption within a specified demand (time) window and instantaneous power reading from a connected power/energy meter. The resulting values can be used to drive demand shift automation in order to stay under demand window limits.

==== Configuration settings (center panel) ====

**Name** - The name is up to the user. Our suggestion is to choose a naming convention that makes the viewing the device list intuitive. Such as referring to the sensor and/or application. Keep the name short as it will be combined with the register name to create the default "Field" name (if added to "Fields")

**Active Check box** - Check this box and "Save changes" to run the driver. The driver program can be suspended by unchecking the box and clicking on "Save changes". 

**User Notes** - This space can be used to store information specific to the device, such as: location, wiring, scaling, etc.

**eze System Notes** - In this space we provide: wiring instructions, product image, product details.

 ----

**Window size** - Select the number of minutes in your demand window (5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60)

**Delta-T for trend** -

**Power field** - Enter the Field number for the power (kW) reading  

 ----

==== Status & Registers (right panel) ====


=== Device Status ===

**Driver info** - Typically this is the name from the program file

**Driver updated/version** - Date loaded or updated and the version of the driver

**Battery & Signal** - Signal indicates the progress through the script. If driver fails to operate, signal number indicates progress 

**Driver status** - Color and text of status bubbles give a quick visual reference of Communication, Operation, and Application

**Communication** - Com count indicates number of successful and unsuccessful data packets received

=== Available registers ===

  - Target Energy (Writable) - User defined max energy consumption for demand window   
  - Predicted Energy - Predicted energy total based on accumulated energy and current power usage   
  - Window energy - Current energy total for current window
  - Momentary power - Current power (kW) reading of user define Field
  - Max power allowed - Max sustained average power consumption allowable to stay within demand window limit.  
  - Power margin - Head room between current power reading and "Max power allowed".   
  - Time until target exceeded - Predicted elapsed time when user define target energy total will be exceeded, based on accumulated energy and current power usage
  - Window time remaining - Seconds remaining in demand window 
  - Time over power budget - Number of seconds over user defined max energy, in current window.
  - Percent of previous window - Percentage comparison of current consumption to previous demand window.
