What Does It Do?
The Water Pattern Graphs are designed to help you monitor and understand your water usage patterns. It breaks your water trends down by the time of day and days of the week and displays them as shades of blue. The darker a box is on the chart, the more water is used in that hour. There's a legend on the right to let you know the approximate amount of water that each shade represents.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features:
7-Day Water Usage: The graph displays your total water usage over the past 7 days, broken down by hour. This allows you to see how your water consumption varies throughout the day and week.
Default View: By default, the graph shows the last 7 days of data, up to the current hour. This means you always have the most recent data at your fingertips.
Legend: On the right side of the graph, you’ll find a legend that indicates the amount of water each color represents. This makes it easy to understand the graph at a glance.
Interactive Hover: When you hover over any square on the graph, it will display the specific time and the amount of water used during that hour. This feature provides precise details about your water usage.
Date Picker: You can change the 7-day range displayed on the graph using the date picker. This allows you to view water usage data for any 7-day period you’re interested in.
