Octopus Energy Chat

Question for those of you with a Home Mini device: Can you use it in tandem with the in home display, or does that stop working when you activate the Home Mini?

Yeah you can use them at the same time :slight_smile: it just links to the meter as another ‘display’

Currently using a 3rd party IHD, home mini and home pro with zero issues at all

So just carrying on as normal yesterday (with the almost 70p/kWh prices) cost me 30p more than Tracker would have. I think I can cope with that!

Its another product of theirs, just in beta.

Well that short burst of frying was expensive, but all in all a 12p loss over the course of the day vs Flexible Octopus is completely fine, especially given how high that evening peak was.

ooh, nice spreadsheet. Is that something you built yourself or is it available for anyone to plug their own numbers in to?

Octopus Compare app.

In my case, Agile is moving closer to Go, but still saving when compared to Tracker & Standard:

From the last 3 or 4 years, Agile gets more expensive than Go in late November until the end of February. But the difference has been getting less so I’m sticking with Agile for now.

We did 5 loads today :sob:

I’ve done two, been warm here in Wrexham

I’ll be running the dishwasher cleaning cycle tomorrow.

Octopus are now sending me separate bills for gas and electricity :roll_eyes:

Are they billed the same date? I had this once when they billed electric a day before gas

No. They are two days apart. I sent the meter readings on the same day, though.

Ah yeah, if you ask them they can merge them in pretty sure.

Mine gets billed on the 1st automatically

I’ll leave it to see if it happens again, think. Maybe it was something to do with the price changes, though it’s never happened before.
