openevse shows higher usage than measured

Hi, I recently purchased a "Replacement Electronics for Juicebox v1 (Metal - Black/Grey and Orange)v1 and set everything up and got it working.

I am having an issue where the current value is incorrect and showing higher than the set point. Is there a way to adjust it to show the actual usage? I also have an IotaWatt measuring the circuit and it shows lower usage.

Adjust the value for Current Scale until the value closely matches the iotawatt measurement.

Thanks! I will try lowering the voltage for the current scale and see if that helps. 

Kris. "Current Scale" does not correspond in any way to voltage, it is just a calibration value. The default factory value of 220 seems to provide fairly accurate Amp readings on the majority of hardware. Minor corrections can help improve accuracy. 

Hi, that is what I meant. I'll try lowering it to 220 thanks. 

 Thanks. I will set to 220 and adjust accordingly.
