Octopus Tracker

How can I add my Tracker gas? I only get Agile in/out at the moment.

@zoonyx … I’m on Gas Tracker and Octopus Watch app definitely does.

Would you say it's worth the £1.75? I use Bright and Hugo, but obviously they don't support Tracker's dynamic pricing.

it is currently in a trial to see if it is feasible. So far the results look good, but features are only guaranteed once they leave beta. Yes, tracker for gas is supported.

The main priority at the moment is to deal with all the issues cause by the broken Octopus Energy API (missing rates, incorrect rates, missing tariffs).

It’s the only thing that gives me any clue as to how much my real gas cost per day is. My meter still has the old fixed tariff set (same for my electric as I’m on Go Faster ToU) so my IHD is pretty useless for anything other than kWh readings.

How does one get into this beta? I have a feeling its one of those perpetual beta things where only testers get the benefits.

No, it’s in the app settings … you just have to switch it on as Gas is defaulted to OFF!

And showing my recent gas useage with the daily tracker rates…

As you can see, it also gives you a rolling 7 and 28 day rate average which is useful.

Must have to be included in beta as the option isn't there in mine.

That’s weird. I wonder if it’s been taken off the latest download. I certainly didn’t have to apply to be a beta tester and was directed to the app specifically because it could show Tracker and Go Faster costs unlike my meter IHD or Bright.

Im using iOS and not Android if that makes a difference?

No - AFAIK.
