Online energy tracking

London_calling

Does anyone know of any website or app that will provide some meaningful feedback on energy use. I use npowers tracker, but it's very basic and does not track gas.

What do you mean exactly by "meaningful feedback?" You could just track your usage yourself and plot pretty graphs (either by hand or using a spreadsheet)

I love the pretty graphs...:o

Well, being able to put my current plan details in, and see what my costs would be with a different plan, provider. I recently had a chap try and flog me a smart meter etc, and without accurate figures it was difficult to compare the deals (they were about £80 more per year in the end I think).

What sort of feedback do you want? Imeasure will compare your usage against the weather and if you can interpret the charts you can see if you used more or less than expected.

My chart of the day for you is here. http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z416/happymj1/charthdd.png It shows my usage compared to the weather. The colder it is the more I use. It needs more fine tuning as it shows I don't use any heating when the weekly degrees days are below about 30 and when it's warm I tend to use cooling fans and the fridge/freezer work harder so therefore I use more. The dots below the line are mainly spring and autumn and the dots above the line on the left are summer and on the right they are winter.

Cheers, sorry, meant to reply before...

It wasn't really my own usage as such, more what my usage actually costs - and whether I'd be better of on a different tariff. The billing is always so complex - and I dare say the different companies work out bills differently?

Was just surprised there wasn't anything like that about!

Oh well...
