    Ah, yes, I forgot about those products. Anyone here use one? Am I right in thinking the opti unit's are on/off devices, rather than proportional controllers?

    Yet? :beer::beer::beer:

    I see our energyhive dashboards have had an update again today - I wonder how "diverted power" will be calculated? Surely this would need another clamp?

    Correction; should be 'Wattson Anywhere Dashboard'. They are two different systems, both hosted by energyhive.

    I do use an optiplug, and it does show, there is no need for any further clamps whatsoever. The Wattson/Holmes/Optimmersion/and others; work fine through the transmitters, with no current reason for change. Think you need to be more specific; example: when you refer to energyhive, I look at my energyhive dashboard, not the Wattson at Home Dashboard. With the standard Energyhive, solar is not fully supported. Think you need to understand how to use the report functions on both, then you will get a grasp.....smiley-laughing021.gif

    I've got a feeling I see an entirely different view to you. There are no report functions on my dashboard - and neither will the energyhive dashboard work for me, just the wattson one. I think this is part of their upcoming plan to offer two tiers of account maybe?

    I apologise the confusion, it's because I haven't had the kit long and didn't buy it through wattson or DIY koyoto, I purchased the hub straight from energyhive and added it to my existing wattson kit. Will be more specific in future.

    No apology needed Andy; below is what the Energyhive Dashboard should look like when you are signed in to it. The report function is the 3rd tab along the top. Perhaps you need to give them a bell (energyhive) and they will sort it for you.
