I'm still waiting for the perfect home energy monitor:

- live electricity usage (the more granularity the better)
- iphone integration
- Apple Watch integration
- web based integration
- no subscription fee

I almost went for the Emporia smart home energy monitor (can't fit all the clamps in the consumer unit) or the OWL Intuition-E which seems a bit old tech.

Use a device which integrates with Home Assistant, you should be able to do all of that with it.

Not a windfall tax but a 'temporary targeted energy profits levy'.
Ahh yes, not that unworkable "Windfall Tax" proposed by Labour (who would turn us into vEneZUeLa dontchaknow with their MaGic mOnEy tREe) but a totally different "Temporary targeted energy profits levy" by the fiscally prudent Tory party with their magic money forest :cry:

The £200 'not-a-loan' to be repayed over 5 years was the stupidest proposal ever conceived though, I don't know a single person who actually wanted it, not even my under the breadline retired parents!

A huge number of people will **** that money up the wall as well.

Mark my words. When the energy prices fly up again in October there will still be huge numbers of people who genuinely can't afford it and even more who wasted the extra money they were given and can't afford it.

If you want to see what happens when you give people free money just look at Americas answer to COVID and where all that money went....
