EDF IHD problems

There are probably lots of things still left on, the number can be quite surprising.  Better to use a Tapo plug to get an accurate result.

I m a bungalow so easy to scour round .only place I ve not looked is the loft ..I LL check that now as there is a plug up there .garage connection is disconnected. It measured the 900 w old microwave display window at 3 watts which I think is correct .

Thanks Gerry ..the culprit was up in the loft ..an   old CCTV camera power supply..The IHD is now measuring 0 watts so less than 1 watt

Doesn't need a £400+ smart meter to achieve that, a £30 Energy Monitor would have sufficed... 🤓

I think these are known as "plug sockets" now - language changes over time but this one grates with me too! Presumably by the same reasoning and for consistency the thing that your insert into it is called a socket plug? In the old days we used to insert the plug into the socket, but now, to avoid confusing anyone I assume we insert the socket plug into the plug socket. That's progress......

I walked out on EDF they were so useless finding excuse after excuse after excuse. I've yet to have an IHD actually work properly. I've got a drawer full of them left in my "you never know" for parts drawer...

I've got three EDF ones in a draw somewhere as well. Every time they sent a replacement and I enrolled it with the meter, I got the same fault. Just sat there displaying "Awaiting data". They must have been connecting to the meter as the time showed correctly and they displayed a full signal strength but that's as far as I got with them.
