Hi,
Now this is available for my system I'd be interested in any comments from people on the tariff, or who've been on it in the past. Some specific questions ..
(1) How much control do you still have over your system? They refer to using the Octopus app to "manage your smart charging", implying you still have some control. As it happens I have a direct Modbus over IP connection to our inverter so I'm pretty sure I could take back control by brute force if it came to it.
(2) What happens if smart meter data is missing, how do they bill the usage and export if they know the totals but not the times?
Any other comments welcome.

They take full control. If you make any changes they are overwritten within minutes
I have had to chase up on missing smart meter data a couple of times - you don't want them reverting to SVRI’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Pensions, Annuities & Retirement Planning, Loans
