    Had a near miss with everything off, except the router and one small light, and the heat pump thermostat turned down a couple of degrees so it wouldn't fire up. Then I heard the circulating pump start, which put about 90W on my consumption and I thought it was going to replenish the DHW and negate my savings. Luckily it just shut off after about 5 minutes, so no idea what that was about.

    Unluckily, the heat pump did replenish the DHW shortly after the session had finished, when the Agile price was over 91p. Very nearly a quid that cost me!

    I messed up badly enough that at 1740 my battery was charging not discharging 🙁 so I'm not expecting to earn anything!

    I did well - had good solar today which fully charged the battery by 3pm, then exported most of it back to the grid 5-6pm at 18.625p + 12p SEG (30.625p). Just waiting for 10pm now so we can recharge at 14p on Cosy, and even if we have to import a little this evening, at 28p up until 10pm it's less than we received for the export earlier, so it allowed us to dump the battery and not hold any back.

    No sun forecast tomorrow, so we will be grid charging.
