@Niklas_J_Ek Gen AI and data products were the hot topics at the last conference I went to.

@kubokozak @GivEnergy Octopus Flux ~ 10kWh during the main period of the day @ 23p and ~ 2kWh in the peak where they pay 37p

At #Inspire23 I presented part of @Alteryx Obscura. In my talk I demonstrated how to use APIs in Designer to control IoT lights - if you want to try it yourself I’ve blogged about it here: https://t.co/1zq9Dg4B3c

If you didn’t catch our session today, make sure you check out how to incorporate control containers as part of testing your workflows in Designer2023.1

[Robbin Vernooij @RobbinVernooij]

If I wasn’t excited enough by the new control containers in #Alteryx they also allow you to write out your workflow messages as data! 🤯 #AlteryxInspire23

@DataNath @joshuaburkhow Thanks @DataNath it’s great to present to so many people and to showcase some of the macros we’ve been working on.

@jay_henderson @alteryx @SonRithi @The_Real_NJ @joshuaburkhow Control Containers will feature in our Inspire session on testing workflows. I love the metadata available and how you can use data to orchestrate the workflow.

Star Wars day when you work with data

@JennyMartinDS14 @alteryx Well done Jenny 👏

[Chris @ Alter Tricks @chrisdatablog]

@RobbinVernooij @dataschooluk @alteryx @TreaMcElhone We done cool training using Mural where you can do a lot of Alteryx teaching without needing to load designer. It makes you think about the problem and to plan it without jumping straight into tools.

@pjryan51 @energystatsuk @OctopusEnergy The export rates are good; so while the charging rates are high compared to Go, if you charge back to 100% SoC and get to evening peak can dump back to the grid to offset import rates.

[Chris @ Alter Tricks @chrisdatablog]

@CalderBikerXT @OctopusEnergy They are clear on why you can only get SEG for export otherwise you can load up at cheap elec and then export at a higher rate and make money!
I’ve got the app Octopus compare and have been tracking Go v Agile pricing and with the exception of windy days Go beats it more often.

[Chris @ Alter Tricks @chrisdatablog]

@CalderBikerXT @OctopusEnergy I’m in the same position but much better off than being on a different tarriff. Being able to load shift is saving about £90 a month and then in combination with Octopus Go a further £100 each month compared to being on a tarriff which is 35p/KWh.

@sevitz @mattmecham @jackbremer It’s peaking at 2.7 at the moment. I think the array is 3.6 but is restricted by the inverter at 3.2.

[Chris @ Alter Tricks @chrisdatablog]

@sevitz @mattmecham @jackbremer Base load is probably around 250-300w, nearly all lights are Philips Hue so there is a tiny pull from them continuously.
