Octopus Saving Session

tripled

Was there someone who found the actual proper algorithm somewhere that's being used?

I'll have a go at throwing together a calculator by using the octopus API to load past data and then give you a slider on what usage in the proceeding 3 hours (1 hour before) the start of the session to figure out what the saving would be if there's a proper description of the calculation somewhere.

The calculations are at the end of the Demand Flexibility Service Participation doc:

I’ve gone a bit mental with this session and turned absolutely everything off apart from the mains powered smoke alarms. Sitting in darkness with nothing but my phone 😂

edit: also forgot the Ocotpus Home Mini is on too!

Loop have invited me to take part tomorrow - I wonder how much of the 0.02kWh I typically use between 17:00 and 18:00 I'll be able to save

That won't really matter, it's all about what you use 1pm-4pm tomorrow.

Has anybody actually got the extra 100 points they said we'd get for doing the second one? I haven't.

You've clicked the "Go to dashboard" now scroll down to "Go to my Octopoints page". My extras are showing on there.

Yes you're right. Two pages with different total points. That's confusing.

Think we did ok today. Finished cooking before the session started, only took 20 minutes to eat so we left the kitchen with its multiple bright LED's and retired to the bedrooms with their single dimmed LED's for the rest. About 90Wh by my count.

Another session tomorrow. Will actually be out for that one.
