Saving Sessions / Demand reduction thread

So how does this work timing wise? I have had the dehumidifier on at home pretty continually the last few weeks. I can turn it off before I go to work tomorrow, and also turn off a few small scale electrical appliances tv wifi etc. But I can't be at home at 5pm to switch these things off at that exact time. If I turn these things off before I go to work at about 9am will that count if they remain off for the 5-6.30 pm slot?

Looks like I'm emptying the battery tomorrow evening then! Only went to 40% last time and got £7.77. :cool:
 
May as well empty it anyway even if you wind up on grid after.

At previous one, it paid you £2 odd per extra kWh exported, which is about 6-7x what an imported unit costs after the session.

That's the plan I think, just empty it at full rate for the 90 mins. Should be worth about £28. It would cover my entire November electricity bill!

Is that on Octopus? I signed up and enabled notifications but had nothing and apparently missed the first one that happened.

yes indeed, my phone just pinged the whatsapp/octopus notice as well

So you need to reduce your baseline. No messing about with in day adjustment like last year
So they take your average over last 10 weekdays (excluding saving sessions) and compare each 30 minute session to that tomorrow.
 
Anybody else got issues with there export data - mine only goes up to the 24 November??

Import is working*, as is gas, just not showing any export, and Octopus account shows "Hmm, looks like we are still processing the electricity readings from the last few days, so we can't show your progress for the week right now - best check back later. If this continues, get in touch."

Really need it to be working for tomorrow.

Just noticed the import only goes up to Friday as well, though live usage shows in the app (I have an Octopus Mini).

Check a third party app like loop/bright and see if the dcc have the data.

Good point, Bright is showing the import, including today, but I do have a Glow IHD from Hildebrand/Bright. It doesn't show export, but I don't think the Bright app does.

Digging around in the Bright App it does seem to be receiving data from the DCC, so hopefully just a glitch at Octopus - I'll give them a call tomorrow or try Twitter.
