Smart meter timings

Ildhund

This sounds a bit ominous, although the fact that the IHD is 'waiting for tariff' may indicate that there's a change going on. 

"... on Sunday the afternoon off peak came on one hour later" sounds as if the ALCS is the same as before, changing at the right time. Is it still doing that? If it is, it's a bit surprising that the tariff timing seems to have been altered. I can't remember - are you on a variable tariff (i.e. that follows the price cap)? If so, EDF will be pushing the new rates out to every meter including yours, and that can take a day or two and explain why your IHD is waiting. That shouldn't affect the timings, though. 

Check again during the first and/or last hours of different offpeak periods (not forgetting the 8 minutes' delay) to confirm that it's gone wrong if it has, then call EDF and ask them what's going on.

Yea I’m on standard variable 

the cost on my IHD seems high considering the usage today 

look at use and price from Sunday , price similar but KWh per hour is a huge difference

Would the price on my actual meter be wrong ???

the price it’s showing is my new price from today !

So how is it giving me my price if it’s not got the tariff set ???

Update. 

Off peak just kicked in , price on meter is my peak price of 38.13 p

You had a fix that ended yesterday? And are moving to the E10 standard variable?

This is easy for me to say but don't worry what the meter says the cost is, just look at the kWh and the register readings. As long as the off-peak register is going up, you're on the cheap rate.

But that 38.13 looks - well to 2nd decimal place - 38.128 tables for NE DD - 38.13 on the meter - and not the 34p quoted in one of your other threads - or the 31.x from your e67 fix - so looks to have updated already.

New EDF standard E10 rates I believe here

Have you tried powering on / off the IHD ?

It might be they did something weird - as IIRC your old e7 fix rates had been showing - and that was due to expire on 31st.

According to what? I know you have to get the steps out but look at the METER for which register is incrementing, never mind the cost figures for the moment (IHD or Bright), just see what kWh the meter is recording as already said by @QrizB.
As I said here I'm waiting a couple of days for things to settle down before setting my own Bright App tariff times if need be. I've never done it before so I don't know if they stick, your previous change to yours prior to BST did stick didn't it? Then we'll know if Dunstonh is wrong or has a bug on his app.

And as I said in a previous post to you somewhere, check in your EDF ONLINE ACCOUNT for your new tariff details, it is that which determines what you will be charged.

The actual meter is showing the tariff cost 

I’ve checked my Edf account and it’s the new price as of the 1st that is showing 

IHD is just showing the cost of usage , still says waiting for tariff
