Smart meter timings

Phones4Chris

@Rosie1001 I was going to say it all stays on GMT times but @Ildhund beat me to it! So you'll have to adjust your schedule a bit
BUT, there is one thing that is NOT helped by this change, the Apps. In the past, Bright did not adjust the Tariff timing for BST but your phone has changed to BST, so if you look at cost, it is wrong on E7/E10 or other multirate tariffs. At present Hugo seems to be in the same boat, which is why I always look at energy usage most of the time rather than cost.
Something odd did happen at 0030GMT early Sunday morning, as they aren't showing the expected usage! So, I'm going to leave it a couple of days to see whether they do change/correct it this time round, if not, I'll manually alter my Bright tariff timings so the cost information is representative, it doesn't seem you can do that on Hugo!
I'd assume Loop has the same issue, there may be others as well, perhaps users of the other Apps could comment.
Of course anyone NOT on a multirate tariff won't notice any difference in their overall information.

I just get up an hour earlier in winter. Now I can have my lie ins again.

I’m up daft o clock every day …usually around 5 am ish 

Rosie1001

In the bright app , do I set to new timings or keep as it was 

as my rate was off peak now but bright was saying it’s wasn’t ! 

 Confused 🫤 lol 

Rosie1001

just read my actual meter and checked the Tariff 

it’s on peak rate , even though clocks went forward , on Sunday the afternoon off peak came on one hour later , so I presumed as did the members on here it would be those times moving forward 

but the meter says otherwise 

This was at 4.20 pm today

The bright app is broken on DST.  Even if you configure it in the settings (which is an option) it doesn't stick.

My actual meter is giving me different times to what I had on Sunday … 

IHD is saying waiting for tarrif 

EDF say all my times are plus 1 in line with BST … 

Rosie1001

Sunday reading and todays on IHD 

look at kWh , but price similar which can’t correct 

I did  no different on  Sunday to today

@Rosie1001

Are you saying the ALCS times are switching GMT - but the tariff tables are switching DST ?

Or that both have reverted to 1-4pm DST.

Did you notice the state of the contactor symbol - or your heater power status.

As you mention the 38p day rate was showing at 4:20pm - after the DST switch.

There are sadly IIRC two sets of tables - and others have suspected a misalignment in the past - but that span off into a discussion about the apps time stamps - and I lost the will after a few conflicting interpretations.

Dont use the apps - maybe I should start - and check mine.  I just rely on the IHD price now display.

Rosie1001

I’ve just checked , it’s not changed to off peak at 8.09 usual 

so I’ll check at 9 .09 

i am relying on apps … I’m house display is still saying waiting for tartif thou 

Rosie1001

So it’s still on this price at 8 .16 pm 

i have no idea what is going on  

on Sunday my timings were definitely one hour  forward so BST 

So my  off peak timing should have been on till 5.09pm but the pricing was showing peak ,

you can see the icons are showing on this last photo , they were off earlier

I’m really confused , as I did adjust my use to the hour ahead 

but as you can see my usage on the two days on the pics , look at the kWh  use and price , that can’t  be right , even with the price rise today 

how can I check what’s gone wrong ??
