I remember using a potato in a science class at school, many, many, many year ago.

All you TE users. Have you received a bill yet? Just got an email from them

Send Us Your Meter Reading
It's that time of the month where we are getting ready to prepare your next Tomato Energy bill. If you have a moment, please send us your meter readings* so that we can ensure that your bill is accurate. Send us an email or call us: [email protected], 03301239540

Your Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) for your meter(s) is as follows:
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

*Please ignore this email if you have already provided us with your meter read(s) within the last 2 weeks, you have changed supplier or moved house.

I provide them with my readings every 1/2 hour.

It’s quite annoying to get these messages - I have only been with TE for 10 days, so not got to that point yet, but I have up to date smart meters (installed on 16.09.24), which are supposed to work with every energy company. If they are offering different rates for all times of the day and night, what would be the point of asking for meter readings? It’s bizarre.

I went with Scottish Power for gas, and they also asked for meter readings. My meters are in my garage, and I need to use a step ladder to see the display. I emailed to say I wasn’t keen to do that, and why couldn’t they read my brand new smart meter, but they insisted via another email. When I recorded a reading of 00006 online, the app told me ‘that doesn’t look right’!

Sometimes I wish I had stayed with Octopus……..

Yes, I received the same email on Monday.

Dutifully, I followed their instructions (went out in the pouring rain on Tuesday and noted the meter reading) and then tried to send it in via the methods they propose, either phone or email. Phone, after navigating the menu, went dead; email then sent, no acknowledgement received.

Is your online record, via myWatts, working and correct? Mine worked briefly (most data visible between 07/09, when I transferred to them and 17/09) but nothing since! And I'm almost certain that the data that is shown is wrong (I have charged my car at least once in the 00:00 to 06:00 slot and the graph doesn't show it!)

I know my Smart Meter is SMETS1 but TE recognised that when they accepted my application to transfer so, if it isn't suitable to supply the data they need I shall be looking to them to replace it with a SMETS2!

For the last few days, myWatts is showing "Your data will be available soon". Anyone else got this on their account?

I can see up to 20:00 on the 8th. Which is not unusual to see it lagging by about 1 1/2 to 2 days behind.

This morning I logged out and back in again as refreshing the page did nothing. When I logged back in, I can see data upto noon yesterday, so it seems to be working again.

You have stolen my updates, still fixed on 20:00 on the 8th. ?

Nothing showing for me since September 30th!

Try logging out and back in. Worked for me.

I have to log in every time I open the web page, quite deliberately set like this.

However, I just tried logging in, then out then back in; still no data, but thanks for the suggestion. ?
