This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

This might fit the bill, once they launch the SmartThings integration:
ivie Bud - Smart Meter Monitor | Replacement In-Home Display
With the ivie Bud replacement in-home display, you can check exactly how much energy you’re using and make smarter decisions on how and when to save energy.

I will have to try some things, I reckon the old tv we use doesn't help.
And that display looks more ancient than mine

Do you think so? I prefer the one I have!
Buttons are all accessible and more info on the screen?
Well, fuctionality always seems to get taken out with new things, but in terms of screen resolution and how modern the display and fonts/icons are etc, the other guy's one looks much more modern.

Was gonna say, that one is the same one I have and it's really basic. My folks got one from SSE that is full colour, shows usage graphs etc.
His shows gas and electricity at the same time, the one you and I have won't (not that I have gas anyway).
What's changed - probably just used the time to think it through and apply answers to the negatives.
e.g.
Negative : Windfall tax would deter energy firms from investing in the UK.
Response : companies that increase investment in the UK could earn a discount on the additional tax.
Yes it not rocket science stuff but it's also not as easy as 'lets just do this' - there a negative consequences to all actions like this, and these need to fully mapped, understood and have solutions, which don't introduce other negative impacts.

Got it now, is that high for just using my iMac, have 2 tvs in standby, a fridge and freezer and smaller drinks fridge and just the internet routers, pretty much.
So they worked all that out in the last week since they whipped the MPs to vote against the Labour proposal....I think you are giving these muppets far too much credit
Ah that's a bit naff yes.
I couldn't get a gas smart meter installed. Something a this house's meter box being non standard.
With so much unused space you'd think they could get both on.
Nope - they have probably been working it for much longer.So they worked all that out in the last week since they whipped the MPs to vote against the Labour proposal....I think you are giving these muppets far too much credit
Problem is, everyone loves a good conspiracy theory, from the comfort of their keyboards !
Then ministers would have been saying "We're working on how to implement a Windfall Tax" not "We can't implement a Windfall Tax because [daily changeable reasons]"
Not every criticism of the current status is a conspiracy theory.

Managed to get the info to live so its reading around 210w currently, Im now on a mission to find out what caused such a rise earlier, I have a feeling it could be the electric shower and/or my old crappy Sony TV I have had for 15yrs + which we use every morning for bbc breakfast.
Does this seem about average for being on a pc and most over things in standby/off.
Oh yeah we have an electric shower.
It's 10kw.
It will be that.
Half an hour in that would cost me 1.10.
It'll probably cost you 1.50.
I remember seeing the light go red on the smart meter and saw the 13kw on display! Ran around the house until I heard the gf was in the shower and I had the kettle on!
