How to customize display units

Each meter.me user can choose what units they view their components in according to their preference. Each user can set up default account-level unit preferences and also component-level unit preferences. The account default preferences will be used if no unique component-level preferences are specified.

How to adjust your account-level unit defaults (for time, volume, height, pressure & temperature)

From the mobile app:

  1. Log in to the meter.me mobile app with your account
  2. Open the side menu by selecting the icon in the upper left corner of your screen
  3. Select Account
  4. Scroll down to Unit Defaults
  5. Use the toggles or dropdown menus to adjust the units for each of the following:
    • Time
    • Volume
    • Length
    • Temperature
    • Pressure

And that’s it! You have successfully adjusted the unit defaults for your user. The app will automatically update to display all values in the selected account-level units unless you have another unit setting selected for specific components.
