    Really like the look of this....do I get the Solar pv hub? Already have a sender for my Geo so presume this would be OK for the hub?

    Think you may be right; but I would check with E/H direct: ask to speak with Josh; if it works okay with a Geo, then, happy days...:D

    197% over budget for the month:eek:

    I might ask you the same question, in reverse: why are you expecting to use 254.07 kWh this month? And why have you used 193.04 kWh, as of 20:29 today?..:eek:
    At the same time today I have used, according to E/H 186.09 kWh; as it does not record actual usage: when in fact, my actual usage, todate is 97.00 kWh. I would expect my actual usage to be less than 135 kWh for the month...hence the reason my cost of Lecci todate is less than £9.60p.(97.00 kWh). My forecast for the month end is around 130 kWh; which is why E/H is forecasting way over budget, my budget is actual paid for usage, helped by my PV system....:rotfl::D;)
    Anyway, a/an Hawaii today, on the nail..coffee.gif

    Wattson doesn't recognise I'm diverting excess to my immersion/dehumidifier

    etc and not taking it from the grid.

    Last month Wattson said my leccy usage cost £53.00. Actual was £26.00;)

    4.425 O's here today:D

    How much do you pay for Leccy (exclude VAT & S/C) the way I read your bar graph, you only imported in March... 130.53 kWh (Usage was 350.79 kWh).
    2ziq042.jpg...:rotfl::rotfl:...coffee.gif
    Edit: March, my actual Leccy usage was 137 kWh compared to Wattson import of 268.28 kWh; which I would think is not far wrong being I was down for quite a few days in March (Inverter)..;)
