| Category | We choose categories based on what we measure - we can choose any category, for example, we can have a main meter which normally belongs to Other category. However, in our example, a meter is used to measure the car chargers, so we select the car category. This meter will be shown as a car charger icon in the application as it represents the car-charged data. |
