Managed to get through about 50kWh so far, and will probably be closer to 55-57kWh by 4pm. Home assistant reckons we've got a bill of -£4 so far.

Turned off the solar panels to maximise import, battery charge/exported a few times, left my gaming PC running Elden Ring all day, both ovens on and door open (when I wasn't cooking in them), a few dryer loads, a few hot washing loads and drum clean, a dishwasher clean and a hot cycle of dishes. 600W fan heater running all day, and AC in heat mode all day. Currently 25 degrees in most of the house.

Made £7.95 by 4pm today. Woooooo

I've been trying to find the raw data from my daily usage. Googling reveals i can get this as a .csv from the bottom of "My energy insights" page (which would be great). The app only has a usage tab with a textbox summary of my Electricity insights.

Thanks for any pointers

I need to have my car charged to 100% for tomorrow's trip and I'm wondering if it is enough to set charging to 100% on Octopus app or do I also need to adjust charging level on VW app? There's an additional setting for charge level when charging at home - this will have to be changed too?

Sorry, first time charging to 100% since switching to IOG...

As title says. Went live on the 3rd and meter readings started showing yesterday.

Does the option to switch to intelligent go just appear on the apps *view tariff, change tariff* bit when available or do I need to do sumfink specific?

Thx 😎

Anyone else finding the new Octopus compare app really buggy and not loading the new times after a couple of refreshing tires after 4pm?

has anyone else experienced problems with getting their usuage readings and how did you fix this. We haven’t received a reading in weeks and Octopus aren’t helping (they’ve just told us to delete and reinstall the app which hasn’t solved the issue)

All last year I was on standard outgoing, 15p any time, but a few weeks ago switched to agile outgoing, which has been pretty good to be fair, but days like today, I am generating soo much, batteries are full and having to export for free, good problem to have I guess.

may have to switch back to standard outgoing as the sunnier days approach, although its now down to 12p, I can export 24/7 if needed at 12p.

anybody else looked into this ? exporting agile outgoing v standard outgoing ?

Last year I was charging to 100% cheap rate, discharged in the morning down to 10 or 20%, the sun comes out and charges the batteries back up, and I export thoroughout the day until the batteries drop to 2 - 5% ready for the next off peak charging cyle, the system was automatic, and accounted for less sunny days

Agile outgoing I find I am constantly having to have to look at the days, or next days rates, then decide at what times to ccharge and discharge, obvioulsy the 4 - 7 is always discharge, I think its likely the 10am - 4pm slots where I may loose out in the middle of summer

After following instructions and purchasing the 2 for £8 Vue pass via the octopus app, the code for redeeming the actual tickets was never sent to me (email or Google wallet). Can anyone advise? I had plans to go tomorrow

Using a Solis hybrid inverter with a battery, I wanted to switch to the flex tariff. But it is seems that it is non longer available and only option is agile. What are my options? My understanding is that The inverter allow charging/discharge only by time range.

We have ASHP , 8 x panels PV , Battery 20 kw Storage , 6kw inverter , our home also has wet underfloor heating ,

We are on octopus cosy tariff at the moment , what would people suggest to move over to for the summer months ?

Help with setup

Hi. I’ve been on IOG Import for a month and just been told by Octopus that my Agile Export tariff has been approved and active. I’m looking to set up the export settings to take advantage of exporting at peak times from my Powerwall.

I’ve looked into NetZero but their FAQ states the PW controls export not NZ, so it doesn’t seem to be useful for me, so will probably remove the NZ app. Are there alternatives to automate exporting with a PW and Agile Export?

The only other option I’m aware of is to manually create a custom rate plan with zone to cover IOG off peak, IOG peak and Agile peak, then set Agile peak to be favourable for exporting based on sell price.
