## Energy Costs and Cost Counters

The SmartMeter² can calculate energy costs based on the measured values and the specified price in ct/kWh. For dynamic price adjustment, the prices can also be set via a communication object. If *Permanently adopt price from bus* is not enabled, the parameterized value is used again after a device restart.

For each cost counter, it can be configured separately whether the corresponding communication objects are to be enabled and from which change onwards a new value is to be sent.
Enabling displays the corresponding communication objects in ETS. For costs to be sent cyclically or on change, the cost counter for each channel must be enabled using the corresponding checkbox.

Resetting the cost counters via the reset communication object resets all cost counters of a channel.

The interval for cyclic sending of the costs applies to all enabled cost values.
When requesting the cost values via the optional communication object, all enabled cost values are also sent.
