Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

groovyf

A straight 8 kWh / 2 O's for me.
All over the place again for me today - I blame the Pennines! Don't think I've had a pure generation curve ever

Final word on the Wattson... seems it's calmed down again and reading roughly correct base load usage. I can live with the occasional ghost loadage being reported.

About Energyhive. It has five ports. Does Watton with Easifit use three of them? I am wondering whether the Effery unit could measure the diversion.

Does the Energyhive have an ethernet port? I have used all of the ports on my BT Hub5 and only have one port remaining marked "WAN". I may have to run over a powerline adapter.

Thank you. This has helped with my purchasing decision.

Leggo is quite right; EnergyHive is the cheapest for the gateway; they run it as well, so any problems, that's your port of call...:j Let us know the site address when your up and running...

Edit: Think you can get a splitter for a port on your modem..

2nd Edit: Wattson with easy fit does not connect to your internet. You can download fitting instructions for the transmitter off the energeno site (simple). It is only the EnergyHive gateway that connects, it gets the data from the Wattson transmitter.

Lowest to post so far @ 2.88 O's today .

Don't worry, I've got your back. Best day of the year, but couldn't quite squeeze a 3 ..... 2.74 O's.

Luckily for me, looks like Legoman has my back ...... and Groovy has his .... what a team!

Once again we owe groovy one, and I don't mean an innuendo, though of course if he wants an innuendo, then I'm happy to give him one! :rotfl:

Mart.

:rotfl::rotfl: Your Wattson was not far out today less than 5%; the fault with base load was down to energyhive changing their platform, we all had wrong readings,, now corrected for future....

I've messed that up. I ordered the wrong version and have emailed to tell Energyhive to ship the Wattson version. I hope that works out.

I think that I will plug the Energyhive module into a powerline adapter next to the Wattson transmitter. That gives me a radio path of a couple of metres and gets over the shortage of Ethernet ports on the Home Hub 5.

Sorry, forgot to update last night.

Not as good a day as forecast. Lots of intermitent cloud cover - usually, just as something switched on!

Still a respectable 3.86 O's (15.13 kWh) though.

I hope someone else had use of the sun today as we only saw it for about 5 minutes today.

1.27 O's (5.07 kWh)
