What is Metered Electricity? Metered electricity is a feature that lets you charge guests for the exact amount of electricity they use during their stay. 

Why Use Metered Electricity?

1. Save money: Only charge for what guests actually use
2. Be fair: Guests who use less electricity pay less
3. Encourage conservation: Guests might use less when they know they're paying for it
   

How to Set It Up:

1. Go to Settings
   • Click on "Settings" in the main menu
2. Click on the "Extras" tab
3. Add New Extra
   • Click "Add new Extra"
4. Type a name like "Metered Electric"
5. Click the "Metered" option
6. Set Your Rate
   • Enter how much you want to charge per unit (like $0.12)
   • Type in the unit name (like "kwh" for kilowatt-hour)
7. Save It
   • Click the "Add" button

Using Metered Electricity:

1. Making a Reservation
   • When you make a new reservation you can add this extra . The add on will display the rate you configured
2. Editing a Reservation
   
1. You can enter in a value for the "Start" field. We recommend using a value of 1.0 for the Start field
   
3. When a Guest is Checking Out
   
1. Enter in a value into the "End" field. Lets say they used 5.0 units

Example:

• You charge $0.12 per unit
• Start was 1.0, end was 5.0
• Guest used 4 units (5.0 - 1.0 = 4.0)
• Guest owes $0.48 (4 units x $0.12 per unit)

Remember:

• Always check the meter at check-in and check-out
• Explain to guests how metered electricity works
• Make sure your rate per unit covers your costs
