Does the $/day display reset every 24 hours or does it continue to average since first plugged in?

Regis, It will continue to average the data either until you reset it or the power goes out in your home or office do to a storm, or if you catch your leg in the cord and pull it out of the wall. Good product, tricky to set up because of overly complicated procedures and poorly organized instructions. Once you get it set up though, it's nice. I use 3 of them to monitor my server farms power and dollar consumption.

It doesn't hold it's charged. When I have it plugged in it reads 100% ,and as soon as I unplug it will read 96% or as low as 83%

It seems to pickup where it left off when I plug it back in after being off for a day or so. I don't know if this will be true over a long period of time if it is unplugged from power or if you remove the usb stick or SD card while it is off.

If unplugged and then plugged in again, defaults to 195. Press once to reset to 208, if preferred.

When unpluged it will show if it is 100. As you use it it will go down the to 80, 60, etc does not take very long. I usually do over night.

I haven't tested the life span. I plug it in at night to be charged for the next day.

I'd look in the manual for something saying "It will not overcharge if left plugged in". If you can't find such, then I'd plug it in and check the voltage on the battery every hour for 4-6 hours. If the voltage never goes above ~14.5V everything's fine, but if you see 15V or higher then you're "overcharging" and want to pull the plug.Another option to consider if you like the idea of keeping it "freshly charged" would be to put it on a timer that comes on for 15-30 minutes each day, but isn't on 24/7.

Make sure there's power to the outlet --- the movement is very slow --- you need to bring current time to the indicated point -- this is a 24 hour circle so remember to differentiate between am and pm. The slider on the right side allows the plug in to work all the time(THE LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN THE PLUG IN IS ACTIVATED -- or just when the selected intervals are depressed --- You could opt for multiple on/off periods per day.

okay, I was assuming the display would go blank after 5 mins. to save battery but I guess it always stays on and shows the time.thanks

just purchased this and have not set any daily modes for the week, but activated the vacation security mode to see how the random on and off light feature worked. I've also set the day and correct time in this unit,, so far for the last 2 nites, the unit has turned on the lamp at around 6PM but I've manually turned off the unit late at nite before I go to bed because it stays on. during the day, it stays off. I can only surmise that I have to set on and off times for each day & that the random timer works off of that,, otherwise it does not appear to do the random on and off.

I had that problem once; but it was due to a brief loss of power to the device. I have never had it reset a specific time while continuously powered.

If unplug you need to reset it .. If turned off when you turn it back on it stays at old setting

Yes, it looks like it retains all settings even it is completely unplugged. I have unplugged it for at least 2 weeks. It keeps settings without problem.

Ours has needed to be reset maybe 2 times in the time we've had it - so I would not describe it as constant, nor as preventing us from being happy with the purchase, especially for the price.Even when we have had to reset it, it's only been when switching inputs, and has only happened just a couple of times - never in the middle of a show, nor often.

It only added about $10/month to my electric bill. I don't know what that other person is talking about....mine is plugged in 24/7
