Readings will show in this app whatever, but will calculate prices from the Agile tariff which this is what this App is for.
Your meter readings will be pulled into this app usually 2 days later, once it has got full days readings from Octopus. It is is missing any periods the app.wont display that particular day until complete data for that period.
The API feed on the octopus watch app took a while to show populate, maybe a week or so before it had a few days of data and its always a few days lag on it. You should be able to see more update to date data on the octopus website.
Yep, I periodically export the CSV, copy paste it into a google sheets doc that has a few helper columns (such as year, month, etc), then do a pivot table to display the data in a nice format for graphs. Here’s a template that you can try out, just keep in mind it might need tweaking for you needs. Just paste your CSV export from Octopus Watch app in to the first sheet.
On a different note just got my final bill from E.ON with my exit fees on. I’ve just uploaded the statement to Bulb and got an instant email to say they’ve credited my account with the £60.
Finally got an engineer appointment to replace the old ex-Scottish Power SMETS1 ‘smart’ meter for a SMETS2 smart meter and then switch from our current 12M fixed plan to Agile.
I’d be interested in hearing how you get on with the v2 IHD. We had one fitted about a month ago and in the ensuing few weeks have had 3 power cuts. That knocks the IHD connection off and I have to apply to Bulb for a re-set. Last one took 10 days. Not a big issue as daily consumption is available on their website. I’m leaving it after the last power cut see if it resets itself without my intervention. R-
I agree - but I’m not overly fussed. The main objective was to get a meter that supplied usage data to the supplier that did not entail me climbing a step ladder every month to read the meter. I mean, I am knocking on the door of 70. R-
I’m new to smart meters, having recently moved in to a house with a SMETS2 smart meter and IHD from one of the traditional suppliers (npower IIRC).
I’ve just completed the switch to Octopus Agile today. However, up until now, when it was just being used as a dumb system by the supplier, I didn’t keep the IHD plugged in. I just plugged it in when I needed to supply a meter reading.
We have had 3 power cuts of >2h duration. I understand the IHD will maintain its settings for c. 1h on the internal battery. After that … start again. R-
