National Grid has specified the time interval 17:30 to 18:30 for the demand flexibility event tomorrow evening Tuesday 21st Feb, Octopus will be in it as they have had their bids accepted.

Opting in to Octopus should be available within an hour or so. To check you are opted in, I recommend after opting in, you log out and then log back in again and check your opted in status.

Its should be the standard pay out this time at £2.25 / kWh as the octopus won an average bid of £3.00 / kWh.

The all important "in day adjustment" window will start at 13:30 and finish at 16:30.

I forget to get the opt in link. :oops: If anyone hasn't opted in yet could they possibly right click on the link box and PM me a copy of the link. (remove any sensitive account number etc.)

Tinbum, do you not run the Octopus app on your phone? That way you can opt in there or by email link too?

Yes. I was looking for where the opt in button links to so I can add that to my Node-Red setup, but you can't see after you've clicked it.. which I did.
The idea being as soon as Node-Red sees that Octopus are in the saving session it will opt me in instead of me having to do it manually. Once I'd clicked the button I can't see where it links to. :cry: I should have changed my Alexa message to remind me to do it before clicking it. :roll:
