    Energyhive also do a hub for CurrentCost monitors - but it doesn't do diverters.

    I'm going to try an experiment later today, will report back on results :idea:

    Think you may find that they only display usage and not usage + generation....... or usage minus generation and generation minus usage :D

    Just the 2.14 O's for me on this wet (all day) day. New toy is performing well; it managed to register 2.028 O's which works out to be 0.58824% under the generation meter reading. That will do me Tommy.....:D :rotfl:

    I noticed the Legoman was up late this morning.....okay for some...coffee.gif

    Bet he will post around 2.39 O's.........:mad:

    I can now see how many brews Legoman has a day...:rotfl: :D

    All I can say is, it's a good job it doesn't measure lager:beer:

    Not a bad guess, only 3% out::D 7.43 kWh from PV of your total 12.18 kWh that you used...:rotfl: That means you only had to pay for the 4.75 kWh that you used from the grid.......what was Mrs L doing?....:eek:

    Cooking lunch, drying her hair, hoovering etc.

    All of which could have been done a couple of hours later

    "I'll pause washing" and stopped the washing machine until she had finished cooking:rotfl:

    Fair dooos' to Mrs L... you can't expect her to be Psychic; that's what I think when Mrs O puts the washing machine on at 09:00 cos it's a sunny day... :rotfl:

    Similar here, got 32.9kWh or 5.9 Os. Almost my best, but did manage 1kWh more last July.

    Lovely day, but a little cool, kept gen around 90% (for the panels in the sun) rather than 70 to 80%. I can live with that. :)

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
