Handy for the impatient whilst they sort everything out their end.

For that first session I didn't earn anything because I didn't opt in as I didn't get a notification so it can't tell if you opted in or not.

Thanks for this link.

I did think my first saving session figures were wrong.

My "back of a fag packet workings" was about 1.5kWh ish saved as we used zero electricity, so I was surprised when good old Pete from Octopus reported a saving of just 0.15kWh.

That link with my API shows 1.62kWh saved, so quite a big difference

16th Nov: £7.11 verified
29th Nov: £27.05 unverified
1st Dec: £25.94 unverified

November's electricity bill was £36, so that'll be £24 carried over to cover some of December's too. :)
 
Another phone call to Octopus this morning, they tried to fob me off with an automated message saying they are working on my smart meter issue, so I stayed on the line. Spoke to another person, explained the situation and she said she'll manually request the missing readings, half an hour later I have a full set of readings :D Let's hope it stays working.

Nice one.

It is good to know for the future that Octopus can manually request readings.
 
Not bad!
19/11 £14.18
01/12 £17.58

Not sure i am going to bother with tonight's at £2.50kwh, not so much the rate but I forget to disable forced discharging so I have been dumping to grid during those peak hours since the last session on 01/12 and so my trailing 10 day average export in those hours is going to be unhelpfully high! :o

bear in mind calculation is based on weekdays (as today is a weekday) and excludes saving sessions so it should actually only be 1 day that is in scope (yesterday)
