    To add to above, whilst the kWh consumption on MyWatts seems accurate, the "cost" values seem to apply incorrect times e.g. might be using GMT. I'll not be concerned over what MyWatts shows, but keenly analyse the bill (when... ;) )

    @gus - my view: 1. For the 0000-0600 5p period, that is 2300GMT - 0500GMT, and will be 12 30 min blocks (lines on your spreadsheet) 2. You have 10 green lines at the top but need 12. Change the first red line to green - since MyWatts' 0500GMT is for the end of the block. 3. You need to add a...

    Tomato Energy

    As per last post, we switched to Tomato on 18 Sept. MyWatts came alive 2 days ago ;) I am not sure if the accuracy / format of the data is clearly stated above - it is not expressed easily. I have been doing some cross-checking with Hugo, the Smart Meter and e.g. Victron / Car Charger timers...

    MyWatts still no data for me, despite changeover 18 Sept. Might be since the power has been switched off for some of those days which has confused them. I use Hugo App to note usage, but see the Loop App seems to have the 1hr issue referred to above? I am not worried, the industry is strictly...

    switched to Tomato - thanks @johnb80 - on 14th, apparently energy switch was 18th, and today MyWatts has gone from "We are trying hard" to "Your data will be available soon".

    Tomato Energy

    The Hugo App (and Loop but slightly less accurately) give you only the kWh used in 30min blocks. They seem delayed by a few hours. If you (can) enter your tariff details, they'll do the maths as well, but no better than a simple spreadsheet would do. As above they seem to use this as a...

    Would agree, except neither Hugo nor Loop ever had the correct eOn tariffs available. As above, I do not think it needs to know your supplier for consumption - they get the info from the same place your supplier does if my theory is correct...

    On my Hugo I cannot see my supplier in the settings? Just the MPAN and address in a strange format all the elec suppliers seem to use.

    Try using your previous supplier? Or any supplier! Does it ask for the MPAN which I think would be more important... I guess a supplier might only be needed for it trying to get a tariff?

    NB phone apps such as Hugo and Loop can monitor the exact Smart Meter usage by the half hour i.e. the modern smart meters seem to transmit their data to a central database, and your supplier pulls the data from there, as can Hugo/Loop. This gives you the data, if you record it, to challenge...

    Tomato Energy Experience

    I have 14kWh as 2 ex-VW ID3 modules... now supplemented by 51kWh of MG4 SE SR. I can take 5kW from the MG4 via a 50V/100A charger to top up the house batteries when weather requires. Suspect I will need grid electricity (@5p/kWh) to top up from later this month. As you say, seems by far the...

    Tomato Energy Experience

    @johnb80 Thanks for the info on Tomato... likely to swap (from eOn Next) today... any way to get you a recommender bonus, or is there a discount code (anyone)? Have a DIY system at home, so no export available, no gas (use oil), and now made 2 months disconnected from grid, so the nearly 10p...

    iON Tech 7kW Type 2 Charger - experience/tips?

    I have done initial tests... with the charger at Green i.e. standby a meter gave 0.105VAC between L & N. I tried to activate the charger without it being plugged onto the car and would not get out of green / standby. Meter gave 0VAC shorted out and 241VAC across the mains. I think we need to...

    iON Tech 7kW Type 2 Charger - experience/tips?

    Understand your point, and I did add a smiley ;) Neither the OP, or yourself, have described "what" the ("alleged") issue is, or provided a link. My guess is that 'maybe' the car charger plug (?) is stated to be 'live' when the charger is not charging ?? On that assumption I will try to do...

    Off grid solar car charging

    Grid is turned off at house entry... and the whole house (inc boiler) powered by batteries / inverters. Theoretically you could have the inverters and grid on together, and use the inverters to ensure there is no feed back to grid - but grid can be used when required. I say theoretically...

    Off grid solar car charging

    If that's for me, out in the sticks so heating is Oil - as is Hot Water unless enough solar. You might feel "off grid" is a bit of a cheat regarding oil ;) Also use Starlink / Mobiles, so landline not used any more...
