@canido_steve @agilepredict Charging car (7.4kW), house battery (6kW), washing machine/tumble dryer (3kW), a small pool heater (2kW) and then just the house and perhaps the dishwasher. All stuff I would have used anyway and no silly usage.

Am I doing this right @agilepredict

[Mat Thomas @phiebs]

@agilepredict Trying desperately to keep under the 100A!

@larsmoravy Something really simple that would help in countries without FSD (I’m in the UK). A speed limiter; when not using autopilot (on winding roads for example) I’d like to be able to set a limit so I don’t exceed the speed limit (easy to do with all that torque!)

@tbarrett HBD na ja

[Mat Thomas @phiebs]

@sarah_go_green 17.2kWh for me. Abysmal considering size of the array! Frequently under 200W showing on inverter 😔

[Mat Thomas @phiebs]

@sarah_go_green This is a step in the right direction but with a few hours tinkering on home assistant you can get this and more without a hefty upfront and recurring fee. Plus doesn’t have the integration with EV tariff nor GE AIO nor EV charger nor EV that I use.

Doing my bit to keep the wind farms working!! @OctopusEnergy @sarah_go_green

@tbarrett Top left innit. Guy doing splits on cubic is a spitting image of Alex Albon

@mb1234567832133 @sarah_go_green @g__j @OctopusEnergy I just got the email. Agree it’s annoying but also should point out it’s still (slightly) less than the 27p+ we had a few months ago. More concerning is the standing charge creep which I know @g__j has spoken against in the past. Still an incredible deal overall IMO.

[Mat Thomas @phiebs]

@sarah_go_green @OctopusEnergy Yes! The default is what was number 1 on your 14th birthday I think?

Just realised I can Rick Roll myself when calling Octopus - how cool is that! @OctopusEnergy @sarah_go_green

@g__j @OctopusEnergy @sarah_go_green <Checks careers page>

[Mat Thomas @phiebs]

@g__j @OctopusEnergy @sarah_go_green My geek brain is figuring out the steps needed to actually do this and it’s mind blowing!

[Mat Thomas @phiebs]

@sarah_go_green Welcome to my neck of the woods!

[Mat Thomas @phiebs]

@sarah_go_green My experience is that humidity is far more important to prevent damp. Higher temp usually brings down relative humidity, but airflow is quite critical to bringing down humidity/not allowing a buildup. Tado radiator thermostats show humidity and suggest when to open windows etc.

@g__j @john_oes Thanks Greg, and thanks for building such a great energy company, I always rave about Octopus (as evidenced by my high referral numbers!!)

[Mat Thomas @phiebs]

@g__j Great story, nice to know there are people who care about people more than KPIs. As an aside I’ve been trying to get my broken smart meter replaced since mid August now. It’s no longer “metering” so have missed out on my export! Support are aware but no movement/comms 😔

[Mat Thomas @phiebs]

@sarah_go_green @OctopusEnergy I just hope this isn’t the start of separate EV pricing. For example crediting you the difference between the standard rate and the EV rate (and not including your house/battery in the discount) similar to OVO

@JeffBedford @G4GUO @robaldred I’m using a GW inverter locally on HA; roughly updates every 10s. It’s a bit of a faff but once set up no need to touch it. If I remember correctly you set HA up with an add on that the GroWatt connects to and then HA connects to GroWatt servers. Works well but could be easier!
