2 sessions for me today; the clock change only caught me out once (hopefully).
Coupled with the Octopus app glitch, Fox ESS also decided to do a website & app update in the middle of proceedings; there's something there now, but it looks incomplete and is missing the option to manage schedules (I need to cancel my middle of day import before lunchtime tomorrow!).0 -
I had fun and games with the Solis inverter for our solar. It didn't update to GMT overnight, and was temperamental about sticking with the time once I'd told it to update. Solis have updated their app this week, not for the better.
Like last week, we forgot to turn the tumble dryer on for the first hour, so got towels going round now, and sheets in the bathroom with the dehumidifier on.
I put a maintenance wash on for the dishwasher, only to discover when it had finished, OH had only taken out the breakfast bowls this morning.
OH is mowing the lawn.

great. and a power cut here from 1.05pm so no extra heating and the tumble dryer is full of damp towels.

We managed to import 26.2kWh over our two sessions, so happy with that. I hope they continue some sort of scheme into November.

We used just under 20kWh, and also exported just under 4kWh, which considering our battery was only 29% full first thing this morning, I think we did pretty well to manage our usage.

Power down 6 to 7 pm today

I still have 2 hours to use, and for 9.375p/kWh not a lot of incentive to bother, especially since there is very little solar today.
