# Time views (Today, Week, Month)

**Fox ESS owners** using Check My Solar can review solar, battery, and grid data across **Today**, **Yesterday**, **Week**, **Month**, **Year**, or a **custom date** - whether you want today’s live production or to compare how last month stacked up. Choose the range with the tabs or selector at the top; charts and totals update for that period.

## Available views

| View | Description |
|------|-------------|
| **Today** | From midnight today up to the current time. Live data for the current day. |
| **Yesterday** | Full previous calendar day. |
| **Week** | The week that contains the selected date. You can move to previous/next week. |
| **Month** | The selected calendar month. You can change month (e.g. previous/next month). |
| **Year** | The selected year. You can change year. |
| **Select Date** | A single day of your choice, or a custom date range. Use the date picker to choose the day or start/end dates. |

The exact labels may vary slightly (e.g. “Select Date” for custom); the behaviour is the same.

## Changing the date or period

- **Today / Yesterday** - No date picker; the app uses today or yesterday.
- **Week** - Use the arrows or controls next to the week label to move to the previous or next week. Some UIs show the week’s start/end date.
- **Month** - Use previous/next month or a month/year picker.
- **Year** - Use previous/next year or a year picker.
- **Select Date** - Open the date picker and choose a day, or (if supported) a start and end date for a custom range.

After you change the date or period, the dashboard reloads data for that range. Financial insights (when [energy rates](/docs/reference/energy-rates/) are set) are shown for the same period where the app supports it.

## What updates per view

- **Charts** - Show generation, consumption, grid flow, and optionally battery over the selected period. Granularity depends on the range (e.g. hourly for day/week, daily or monthly for month/year).
- **Totals** - Generation, consumption, import, export, self-consumption, etc. for that period.
- **Financials** - If you’ve set import/export rates, cost and credit are calculated for the selected period (where supported).
- **Today live refresh** - On **Today**, Fox Cloud data updates on a multi-minute cadence. If you use the optional [Fox ESS Modbus Bridge](/docs/using-the-app/modbus-bridge/), live power and battery numbers can refresh about every **10 seconds** from your home network.

## URL and deep links

On web, the current view and date can be reflected in the URL (e.g. `/today`, `/week`, `/month/2025/03`). Opening such a link can take you straight to that view and date. The iOS app may support the same routes via deep links.
