    Oh well - that was easy, typed in the request yesterday evening, got an Email within 30 mins - "Do you really want to do that?" - replied straight away and and this morning I'm on Octopus tracker.

    Another question (I know there's a 'Tracker' thread but .. 390 pages!!)
    Does the IHD "know" the current rate I'm paying and display the correct price. Or what?
    If they updated your tariff info (on the meter, I think?) with the tariff switch today it will hereafter show rates based on today's rate.

    You may be interested to know the Octopus Home Mini does use the accurate daily rates so the £ info on the app when using it is correct.

    I applied for a Octopus Home Mini when the smart meter was installed.
    Haven't received one yet.

    Only had the smart meter since the beginning of November, must have applied shortly after that.
    The guy who installed it said he sometimes has them to hand out but had run out.
