Email just arrived. Do you get any points for opting in, even if you didn't save anything?

 Nope. Just an email afterwards, saying you saved nothing!

There's nothing to lose, though, and you might save a few pence!

I've opted in but it's hugely unlikely we'll save anything as we're usually running on the battery at that time. The only power we use is the tiny amounts the appliances use as they cycle on and off before the battery is triggered, or if OH forgets to turn the oven down for a few minutes when switching the microwave or kettle on.

For 24p it wasn't really worth trying very hard

What does your hub/router take? My VM hub (in modem mode) draws about 12W, and my separate WiFi router takes about another 12W, but varies with demand. What else do you have using WiFi? Smart switches, video doorbells, cameras, then there's possibly a DECT telephone base unit, external PIR lighting, alarm system? What does the combi (and associated thermostat(s) etc draw? What is your typical average base load?

I assume you mean 50Wh was used in the hour, so how sure are you that something drawing, say, 250W didn't kick in for a short time?

thanks for the reply victor, for my router i'm on VM with the new style router, other than my mobile connected to the wifi and laptop which is on battery usage, the hive thermostat is using batterys and the hive hub also turned off, no home phone nothing at all else connected, and as for the heating sys its a WB combi, but cant see that pulling 50w for no reason in the 30 min slot
