Congratulations 🎊 👏, I'm pretty confident that these recent 🐙 days plus Ripple will allow me to head towards March on our ongoing payment holiday. Fingers 🤞.

I had zero expectation of getting this far into Winter, it has been an interesting set of fortunately synchronistic stepping stones.:twisted:

Heh, I have done basically the same as I also use it for Octopus power hours. Useful when it's linked to automations to turn on the dehumidifier, etc, as well.

Set and forget, always the way forwards!

Another few of these sessions would be nice. Reminds me of the fun of Agile.

I'm now looking to see if I can get the data from the national grid api and set it to automatically start.
