How do I export data to a spreadsheet?
It is possible to export data from the eGauge directly into a spreadsheet file. This file is in the CSV format, which is compatible with most common spreadsheet software. Note that certain software may attempt to truncate rows, which can lead to cells filled w...
How do I pair the eGauge with a HomePlug adapter?
Overview By default all HomePlug-compliant PLC devices use the same encryption key - this means that, out of the box, any HomePlug-compliant device should be able to connect to any other HomePlug-compliant device without any adjustments. However, if there are...
Where can I find my device name?
Each eGauge meter has a unique device name (also referred to as hostname) that identifies the meter to the egauge.net proxy server. You will need this name to access your eGauge via the proxy server. The device name is also required when requesting technical s...
Where do I find the MAC address for my device?
Every eGauge meter has at least one MAC address. The MAC address can be used to identify the meter on a local network. It may also be requested by technical support staff to establish proof of ownership. Broadly speaking, there are two ways to obtain the MAC ...
What can I do if I've lost my device password?
