Bills | MyEyedro User Guide

The MyEyedro Bills plugin displays summaries of estimated costs and billing information for all sensors of a specified Display Group. Estimated costs are based on consumption data collected and rate configuration applied. The Bills view provides:

• Comprehensive Billing Intelligence: Seamlessly navigate your financial history with a Billing History Graph that tracks cost and consumption across multiple periods for easy year-over-year comparisons.
• Predictive Financial Forecasting: Take the surprise out of your utility statement with Estimated Bill Totals that use your historical data and current pace to project your final month-end costs.
• Drill-Down Daily Breakdowns: Transform a single bill into actionable insights by clicking any period to view Daily Bill Details, featuring interactive tooltips that reveal exact cost and usage spikes.
