Octopus Smart Meters and Go Tariff

savers_united

I got an SMET2 meter installed in May for Octopus Go Faster.
Meter was zero'd at install and since then I have left it submit half hourly readings, with a new EV I expected an increase in electric use, just checking the meter readings on the IHD from time to time and they tally with the bills from octopus that do not seem overly expensive considering the increased use. 

However this evening by chance was in the meter cupboard and pressed a button B on the front of the meter and the screen illuminated with a KWh reading that is some 600kwh less than on the IHD and my latest bill that came through yesterday, just read how to manually read your smart meter on the Octopus website and pressing button B then A is all it says and I get the same reading which is alot less than the IHD and recent bill. 

Does the Go Tariff show 2 rates on the meter display like E7 that I need to scroll through or is just displayed as one reading? I can't find any info on the Octopus website regarding this only E7 tariffs / meters, by pressing button A I only get a single KWh reading and the other screen just says credit.

Anyone else on. GO /Faster able to confirm if their meter readings match the IHD or if there is another screen I need to scroll to on the meter to get a total. Kwh.

I had a Kaifa smart meter installed in June for Go Faster. Just checked and both the meter and the IHD readings are identical but I did not press any button A or B. They’re probably for E7 as you suggest.

'Go' can be set up in two different ways; one uses a single register (R1) and will split the 30 mins segments into the two time periods for your bill.

The other uses two registers (R1 & R2) much like an old E7 tariff, and will use the reading from both registers on your bill. In that case you can look at the 'Total Actual Import' display on the meter to get the total consumed, or just add the two registers.

I have just done some further searching as could not find any info on energy supplier websites, but then found this video that uses the same meter as mine and answers my question, good to know, just tested and works.
