    Just 69p from the 5th -  but I knew it had gone a bit awry as I was delayed getting home and MrEH isn't as vehement about turning things off as I would be! 

    In other news. Local MrEH found unconscious from frying pan after trying office under floor heating during savings event.
    :lol: thankfully he didn't quite slip up that far! 

    I have just reminded him that any heating he might have on this afternoon needs to go off before 1700 though, as although we probably have limited savings options for today's one, I might as well see if we can save anything at all...

    Theres a new device from Octopus - a HOME MINI
    No idea what it does that a standard USER DISPLAY does - but you can register for one, if interested

    Eh, have you been asleep for most of the year?  :D

    It came out about spring time this year - effectively an Octopus IHD but without the display but adds 5/30 min electric use graphs to their app - all done via home WiFi

    It let's you view the real-time smart meter data in the Octopus app as well as viewing half hourly data without the delay of the daily meter data upload. 

    Theres usually a wait of a couple of months.

    Is that just if you use Whatspp? I just opted in from the phone app, no reference to 200 points. I seem to remember something similar said about a previous session as well.
