Smart plug not reading energy correctly

2021-03-20 04:56:51

Model: KP100

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.0.7

I have a KP115 SMART PLUG (NOT AN OPTION UNDER THE DROP DOWN, I don't have a KP100)

it has energy monitoring in it and i use it to record electric car charging usage.

Something is terribly wrong though. Last 30 days of energy usage is rated around 900kWh from PG&E for the entire house. But the smart plug is rating around 850 kWh in the same time period!!

That's literally impossible as we have electric kitchen appliances and gaming consoles, among other household power users.

How do I fix this to get a correct reading?
