Fifth Anniversary First Post
We recently installed the SMET2 and received an email from our provider - Octopus as to whether we would want our readings stored: -
Half-hourly OR Monthly OR Daily
I understand storing them half-hourly can help to reduce carbon emissions which sounds good.
Are there any positives for storing Monthly or Daily?
What is the general consensus with the MSE on which option to go with please?
Thanks in advance
