Uswitch 25 hours free electricity

Has anyone else signed up within the past couple of days?  I've just downloaded the app but can't see where to sign up for Power Hours - it says it should be on the home screen.

Edit: I've just found in settings the bit that says 'Smart meter connected: no'.  And can't find where to connect it.  I assume that's why I can't sign up for Power Hours though, so one mystery solved.

(Further edit, for any future readers: a few hours later the prompt to connect smart meter popped up, and then the option to sign up to the power hours subsequently appeared.)

Just selected mine for 12-1700 on Sunday. Weather looks a bit ropey so will be great for boosting the batteries.

 Could I literally fill the EV, the house batteries and the immersion, pay full whack to Octopus for it then effectively get reimbursed by USwitch? Is that how it’s supposed to work?

T&C's say it is capped to £25 across the whole campaign.
But I'm planning on topping up my battery and boosting the hot water on each session, mindful of the £25 cap.

That £25 is presumably at the SVR rate, so around 90kWh then? Not sure I can be arsed!

As far as I can gather from the T&C's it's based on your actual tariff costs in place over each selected 5 hour window.

My Octopus Go tariff is not listed, anyone else unable to see their correct tariff?

My Intelligent Go isn’t listed either.

I have used the Octopus Flexible tariff, this seems the closest to my actual peak hours on Go.

Pretty sure that’s what I ended up selecting. Not going to bother with it though, particularly if there’s an overall £25 ceiling over the whole period.

Agile isn't.  I followed it through to 'my tariff isn't listed' and they said they'd use the SVT for the region.
