2.2 Welcome to the Home Page
When WattWaiter is first displayed in a browser window, the WattWaiter Home Page is displayed.
2.3 Stoplight Page
The Stoplight Indicator Page will give you a Green, Red or Yellow light depending on how Clean the power is right now. If you see a Green light, then you are consuming energy that is Clean. If it is Red then it may be a good time to wait a little while until the Power Plants are producing cleaner energy.
2.4 Grid Information Page
The Grid Information page will let you visually see any Power Grid you want. You can specify which grids you want to see, the date ranges you want to view, the type of consumption statistics you would like to see and much, much more.
