Octopus Home Mini problems..?
Comments

Unrelated to the current OHM problems, I've never had export displayed on my OHM or IHD.
I might have to drop Octopus an email asking if this is something they can enable.

It is usually down to the meter firmware, some will provide export, many do not…

Mine went on the blink whilst we were on holiday 3 weeks ago, Octopus told me to carryout a factory reset, it is still not showing on their end, they requested a photo of the barcode, it still flashing blue despite several attempt at a factory reset

Lots of people complaining about the Octopus mini suddenly not working on other forums too

which makes you think it’s an Octopus issue rather than multiple individual users (me included)

Mine was ok until the recent APP update, reply from Octopus this evening they are still looking into it.

It didn't feel to me as though the problem was at my end either - I'd thought all along that it was more as though something Octopus were pushing out was causing it to drop the connection. That said, it behaved OK around the same time period this week so who knows.
Thanks to all giving input though - could be useful for this to be a running thread for reporting mini issues perhaps - as far as I know we haven't had one before.

was this a "got up on Monday morning and realised it had failed" by any chance? That was what happened on both occasions mine went.

That sounds like the opening line of a blues standard 😆
