# View Real-Time Energy Consumption

> Use the watt.ma real-time dashboard to track current load, daily kWh, cost estimates, and top consumers across all your facilities.

The watt.ma real-time dashboard is your central command for live energy consumption. It aggregates data from every connected meter and channel so you can see what is happening right now, spot anomalies early, and compare performance across facilities without waiting for end-of-day reports.

## Dashboard widgets

The default dashboard shows four key widgets:

* **Current load** — The total active power in kilowatts (kW) across all connected meters, updated every few seconds.
* **Daily kWh** — Cumulative energy consumption since midnight local time, broken down by facility or channel.
* **Cost estimate** — A running cost projection based on your configured tariff rates and the current consumption pattern.
* **Top consumers** — A ranked list of the highest-consuming channels or meters right now, so you can quickly identify unusual spikes.

## Switch between facilities

If you manage multiple sites, you can filter the dashboard to show one facility at a time or view an aggregated roll-up across all of them.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the dashboard">
    From the main navigation, select **Monitoring** and then **Dashboard**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a facility">
    Use the facility selector at the top left. Pick a single site to drill down, or select **All Facilities** for the combined view.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Adjust the time range">
    Use the time-range picker to switch between live, last hour, or today views. The widgets refresh automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can rearrange, resize, or hide widgets to build a layout that matches your daily workflow. Click **Customize Layout** in the top right, drag widgets into place, and save your personal view.
</Tip>

For deeper analysis, open any widget and click **View Details** to jump to the corresponding consumption report or export the underlying data.
