The wattmeter is an instrument to measure the electrical power.
There is no volt meter or amp meter in a DC watt meter.
So that the result that you find on the watt meter after resetting it will be accurate
1 Watt = 1 Joule / Second = 1 Newton-meter / Second.
The electrical power that you use from the utility company has to be metered. This is done with a plug in watt meter. The meter socket is what holds the electrical watt meter. It is this meter that the meter reader reads to give you your monthly billing for the electricity that you used.

Measurement of length.
First, shut off all power to your house.

Your home doesn't have a wattmeter, it has an energy meter. And there are no adjustments you can make to it, as it is the property of the energy supply company.
The Joule is a unit of energy, while the Watt is a unit of power. Joule is the alternate name for a Newton-meter of energy, and Watt is the alternate name for a Newton-meter per second of power. This means that one Watt is one Joule per second; a 100-Watt light bulb converts 100 Joules of electrical energy every second into heat energy and light energy.
Phasing, or the number of phases in an electrical system has nothing to do with the voltage. A single phase and three phase supply could have a voltage supply of any given voltage from virtually 0 to infinity. Most single phase power supplies in the US are 120/208-240 volt. Three phase power supplies are typically 120/208 to 277/480 volt.
