Rate Profiles

As your utility adjusts its charges over time, the rate configuration plugin can be used to add new Rate Profiles to reflect the updated fee structures. Rate profiles are child items of Bill Profiles which are associated with Display Groups and used to compute cost estimates and present billing information in various MyEyedro plugins. A single bill profile may have many rate profiles – as the charged fees change over time.

1. Rate Profile List. The list of profiles associated with your MyEyedro account.
2. Add button. Pressing this button will open a dialog used to define settings for a new profile.
3. Details panel. Displays the currently selected profile.

4. Settings panel. Displays the rate profile settings.
5. Effective Date. The date the profile takes effect. NOTE: This is also the value that the Bills plugin uses to determine the estimated bills to-from period.
6. Bill Frequency. The bill period (how frequently you are billed). Supported billing periods are; Monthly, Bi-Monthly (every two months), and Quarterly (every three months).
7. Rate Structure. Supported rate structures are; Fixed, Time-of-Use, Tiered, Daily Tiered and Tiered Time-of-Use. NOTE: Volumetric (gas/water) monitoring only support fixed rate structures.
8. Rate Table. Displays the details of the selected profile. It is populated with the rate information that you have entered from your utility provider.
9. Edit Settings button. Press this button to enter the editing form.

IMPORTANT: Please note that all cost data is shown for informational purposes only. Your actual bill will be provided by your utility service provider, and may be different.

IMPORTANT: You must have an rate profile spanning the time period of data from your monitoring devices. Failure to do so will result in errors when trying to view data in several MyEyedro plugins. Do not delete (or adjust the effective date of) the first rate profile in your list.
