Yes, gas usually takes a bit longer. Give it a couple of weeks and everything will be sorted. You might see a few uh-ohs for a few days.

Great, that's fine thank you. I know my meters are fine anyway as I've got the loop and hugo apps which are fully updating with info.

And just like that, the gas usage is there. Can't fault Octopus at all. Requested to switch Friday, complete Tuesday and a full set of data available today, and on great unit rates through the tracker. No brainer, highly recommend signing up.

Is there a way with Octopus on the website to view what the latest reading is for gas and electric on the smart meters? I can see what I have used on a daily and weekly basis from the smart meter but not what the actual current reading is they have.

Not that I've found. A strange oversight really, considering how much other stuff they have on their website.

 Online dashboard, meter readings left hand menu , click submit meter reading shows most recent readings that they have taken.

Checked that just now, the last reading shown is the one I submitted manually on 6th Feb (yes we do have a Smart Meter, but they still required a manual read when I applied for Tracker)

I believe they only grab the Smart Meter data once a day, our usage detail on the Octopus account newer shows later than previous midnight.

Where and when do you get to see tomorrow's (electricity) rate?

Yeah the only readings shown are the ones I've manually given before the smart meters registered.

Not very latest, but the previous day you can view: on the "explore my energy use" page click "download your smart data" for gas and electrics.
