Yep, all good and up to date just as it has been for the last 8 months :D All tariffs would be more expensive, theres no 'may' about it, Tomato are the lowest tariff of all. From what the CEO of Tomato has said, he's confident theyre going from strength to strength.

The last paragraph is important “The opening of an investigation does not imply that Ofgem has made any findings about non-compliance.” Hopefully this will be the case.

" 16.2 Device Limit Sets the maximum current that the zappi will draw (including when boosting and FAST mode). This is useful if the supply current is limited, for instance, if zappi is connected on a 16A circuit instead of a 32A."

It will run on several different platforms including Raspberry Pi. Linux install is dead easy, YouTube is your friend, almost everything is on there. Use YouTube all the way through from setup and all of the goodies you want to install. It’s not the most intuitive program but you can get by.

Do you not increase export in the last few hours until charging starts? earn more export fees.
