Octopus Tracker

Telegraph_Sam

Your encylopaedic knowledge is faultless.
But I found an android emulator for W7 on google.Bluestacks 5 I think. Not yet downloaded till I get reassurance that it's idiot proof. Topic I suspect for another forum?

Yes, that's not really Tracker related!

Comparing my current Nov 22 v1 North Eastern unit costs with what will hit us on 15 Feb I see that elec will go  up by 9.75% and gas by 19%. Is that fairly typical?

 Not an issue as I'm pulling the data from Octopus via their API in to Home Assistant. If that goes down, I can use OctoTracker or OctopusCompare.

These are all programs that work only on mobile smart phones, not desktops ??

Any android app can work on a laptop tbf these days. Bluestacks is one option.

... is it meant to update to the tracker tariff at some point?

As others have said, Octopus dont send daily Tracker rates out to your IHD.

I've been on Tracker for gas for a couple of years now. My IHD reports my gas price as 4.46p/kWh, while the actual rate today is 4.18p/kWh.

Maybe its now fixed
.I got my smart meters two days ago and the IHD is showing the exact Tracker daily rate and calculating totals correctly .
That came as a surprise as I ve read it many times on here that the IHD on Tracker  is useless as its only using Flexible rates .

Probably if you have had your smart meters fitted by, or through, Octopus, maybe they fit technology which they can fully control so it's compatible with Agile and Tracker - does your IHD have wifi?

The first 2 days on my new smart meters  it was a very similar daily rate to Tracker so I mistakenly thought it was displaying daily rates  , and even now on third day the gas is same as first day , but I can see now that my new toy will be going in a drawer .Its only using the Tracker daily  rate  when it was first installed . The  Kwh  useage is correct  though . 
Octopus fitted them .The fitter used my referral code and transferred to Octopus , so a handy £50 up on the day .

Today its a rise of 14.5% electric and 10.3 % gas between the two versions for Yorkshire region   .I have been getting varying percentage rises with a   lower gas percentage  rise of around 5%  .

I ve done a rough guide to what the April 1 st capped rates will be in Yorkshire region with  Cornwall Insight s  predicting a 16% drop .
That would make Yorkshire region capped rate  around 23 p/kwh electric  and 6.17 p/kwh  gas.
 Flexible has current rates of 27.79 /kwh electric  and 7.35p /kwh gas .
If that is the case I will be sitting it out on Tracker all year and not jumping ship even with  the new formulae starting Feb 15 th

16.3p for me, and I'd bunged a load of washing on first thing this morning..

Oh well, might put the car on charge at midnight.
