Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

[nowty]

I should have said the supply was off after the meter. I've noticed this before when nothing is connected to it.

When I have forced myself offgrid and switch off the grid isolator I definitely get zero to three decimal places on my smart meter history, i.e. 0.000

Maybe a rounding error from the previous half hour ?

This is how it looks when nothing at all connected, so shouldn't be any rounding errors..

[AE-NMidlands]

Surely it must be using power to report what is or isn't being used. 1 watt every 3 or 4 hours...

She and I doused the lights and retired for the hour.
First time ever I was paid for it.

My readings show 0.02kwh all the time I am off grid, when I get home in a few weeks I'm actually going to switch off the power from the meter to my inverter and see if it still reads something.

Yes, but that power is taken from the unmetered side, directly from the incomer, before the current shunt in the meter, so doesn't get measured or recorded by the meter.

Yes it says somewhere in the smart meter specs that the power to run the smart meter does not get added to the customers consumption.

Octopus seem to be taking their time producing results.

I read that there is a problem with Octopus getting all the data from the smart meter national data centre.

I wish they'd hurry up; I'd like to see if I have achieved any saving this time rather than my miserable failure to do so last time.
