## Frequently Asked Questions

#### How often is the data fetched?
The component currently fetches data from IEC every hour, but IEC doesn't update the data very often and they don't really have a consistant behavior, it could arrive with 2 days delay.

#### Can this component be used even if I'm using a private electric company?
**Yes**.

However, the only difference is that in the Invoices you'll see balance = `0` since you're paying to the private company

#### Should I enter my configuration credentials every time?
**No**.

You should do it only once when configuring the component.

#### I have a "dumb" meter, would this component still work for me.
**Yes, But...**.

You would only get a subset of sensors, based on your Invoice information.
