@OctopusEnergy can you look at my DM please?

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@OctopusEnergy would you be able to get back to my DMs?

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@UKPowerNetworks Hello, IP11UP. We've lost power and I have the SMS about it being off for safety. is there an estimate for how long it's off?

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@POferriesupdate once through border controls is there a couple of hours wait that side too?

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@CityFibre would you know when teams are coming back to IP121PZ? digging has stopped yet we have poles with boxes and cables coiled but no ducts?

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@OctopusEnergy I just sent you a couple of DMs relating to the above request

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@OctopusEnergy is there a way to be able to control maybe via the home mini turning the storage heaters on ad-hoc? I've seen its possible on the meter I have and would seem to be a good idea to offer that control via the home mini

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@OctopusEnergy Thanks. I'll DM. but just to add to this publicly for anyone else that does read this I'd like to make use of agile with storage heaters so the clocks changing would be just another variable

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@OctopusEnergy Thanks. There's no way to get it reconfigured so the night DB is on all the time and I can get some sort of smart contactor installed to manage it myself?
Or maybe have the output on all the time and I smart enable each storage heater?

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@OctopusEnergy @OctopusEnergy can i ask if this idea was put to the mini team? Do think being able to charge the storage heaters "dynamically" would be great

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@OctopusEnergy It would allow me to top up my storage heaters during the day on top of my 7 hours a night programmed into the meter otherwise I need to find a way to supply them from the always on Output of the meter

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@greateranglia Ok thanks. The service has totally vanished and nothing reported anywhere to say its not going. Can I claim delay on this as I'm going to be an hour late home

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@greateranglia evening. Just arrived at ips expecting to hop on the train to lowestoft that's usually 18.17. There's no service until 19.17. Can't see anywhere saying its been cancelled?

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@M7CBX morning, M7JCN here. Can't get email from QRZ as I can't get my call sign added to the DB...

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@FortniteStatus my son updated to v28 on his switch and now it crashes when he gets to the lobby. done all the uninstall, install reboot etc stuff. I see plenty of others having the same issue but don't see any acknowledgement there is an issue on your side vs many users.

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@OctopusEnergy I have a cold house because the meter isn't turning on the off peak circuit and we're going into another night where it probably won't work again. DM at 06.40 this morning. All day gone to have looked at this. Please check my DM

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@OctopusEnergy i don't think my E7 output activated on my SMETS2 meter last night. All switches on but storage heaters cold.

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@OctopusEnergy Please look at my DM

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@greateranglia my travel tomorrow is affected by strikes and I'm told in an email if things don't work for me don't worry I can request a refund but your system still wants to put an admin fee to me for something I'm offered a refund for due to operator issues not mine..

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

@AnglianWater @Suff_highways i stand corrected. 2 waiting north bound and a 3rd pulling up. madness

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

hi @AnglianWater & @Suff_highways, couldn't go my usual route via Tuddenham due to closure and ended up in this 30 minute queue for 4 way lights at works AD03162480383. Seriously needed someone to prioritise traffic towards Ipswich this morning. 100s of cars queuing south.

[Robert Needs @RobNeeds]

coming north as I passed were about 4 cars waiting; not sure about side roads but surely a mile of queue can't be right south bound.
