Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Could someone tell me please what date Octopus send a monthly bill when smart meters are installed, normally I would do a meter reading to get that, my smart meters got installed on the 5th?

Edit

I emailed support the bill is now in, its nice to see usage listed daily and says less than £1 usage per day for each fuel for the period from 5th to 29th April, costing just £66.39.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

They take the payment on the 26th of each month for me, the bill then shows on the 14th of each month. Other than Shell trying a fast one with their last reading before handing over to Octopus . Thankfully Octopus jumped on it straight away and refused to accept as Shell gave them my smart meter reading for the last year and it did not tally. Other than that hiccup my bills have been perfect.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Given my meter is way past its EOL (E7 meter from 1989) I'm going to have to replace it.
Getting another analogue meter is looking unlikely now, as no one seems to fit them anymore.

So I'm now thinking I may as well do it sooner rather than later, i.e. in the summer.
That would mean I could look at moving to Octopus before next winter if I so desire.

Having an old E7 meter also hampers any move as some, like Octupus, always quote me E7 prices.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

https://octopus.energy/joining-smart...itch%20to%20us.
I would advise moving to Octopus before getting smart meters installed, because not all smart meters work with octopus properly which would mean you couldn't take advantage of their smart tariffs.

No mate please dont feel like you have to cave in to them!!!!

Your meter should stay with you as long as you want it.......

Stay with what your heart feels is better!!

DONT LET THEM WIN PAUL!!!!!!!!

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I believe you are thinking of the old SMETS 1 meters, installations now are the new SMETS2 meters, which thay can easily connect to.
I cant easily move to Octopus first as I noted above, they seem incapable of quoting me a single rate because my meter [correctly] shows on the datebase as a dual (E7) meter. So in my case, its easier to swap first, move later.

The real world doesnt work like that. ;)

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Yes you're correct if it's a SMETS2 you should be ok I hope, if it had been SMETS1 then it needed to be made by SECURE.

The meters Octopus installed for me are Kaifi MA120 for Electricity and EDMI GS-60B for Gas, luckily they have worked perfectly as I got the first bill yesterday.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

We have had a smart meter for about 2-3 years with little issue apart from when they didn't update my account for the first 6 weeks and kept asking for meter readings.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Does anyone have an Octopus Home Mini thingamajig? I've signed up for it anyway and gone on a waiting list even if I'm not sure it'll be too useful for me, but I do like my stats and since getting Smart Meters and going on their Tracker I check the daily rates and tomorrows rates constantly.

https://octopus.energy/blog/octopus-home-mini/

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Like you i have signed up for one. I heard it can take a couple of months. As you may be aware they are free but there are those that have ordered one and then immediately put them on ebay for sale. Anything for a quick buck.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Are you still on the Tracker? It still works out better for me than Agile as there is no hassle, that https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...hl=en_GB&gl=US is great along with this especially if you link both to your account. https://www.octopriceuk.app/tracker

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I will be staying on tracker this month and will move to Agile next month if the comparator app confirms it is indeed cheaper. As it stands it will save me a minimum £15.00 a month being on Agile

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I've just checked my Octopus Compare app which has my exact daily usage for Electricity and these are my comparisons for the whole of April, so with my usage times Agile is £2.08 cheaper.

So if you're on Agile which only does Electricity can you also stay on the Tracker for your Gas?

Flexible Tariff cost £47.19
Tracker Tariff cost £37.66

Agile Tariff cost £35.58
Tracker Tariff cost £37.66

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I am already with Octopus Flexible and have today applied to switch over to a duel Tracker account.

Done a quick comparison, probably the 5th or 6th so far this year :D, and decided to give it a go. If prices spike I can always go back to my safe place ... timorous beastie mode ... so here goes. :)

Will post when I get my email and then again when I get my switch over date so that anyone considering timescales etc can see the current state of play regarding timings.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Welcome to the club!

Yes mine was instant also, the Tracker Tariff is really a no brainer for someone on Octopus with Smart Meters, don't worry about Tracker prices I checked the last 2 years and it stays well below the Flexible Tariff.

Head over to https://www.octopriceuk.app/tracker and if you enter your meter info(it's nothing to worry about) you get the API info from your Octopus account, you can then track the prices for Gas and Electricity for tomorrow as it displays a day in advance eventually, there are also other wizz things you can track in it's hamburger menu top right.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Not sure about the gas, i will call them next week to check.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

If you would rather not speak to a human, I always find it easier to email support they have never failed me.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I have set up the Octoprice tracker and the octoprice savings. As the tracker account only started from midday to-day I think I will have a better idea of how the figures stack up after the first full week.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

This is what I see on the Octopus Compare mobile app, between Flexible and Tracker, it only does Electricity though, you can tell when my weekends are and I'm at home all day!

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...1&d=1714935520

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I'm still waiting for data from 4th April-> to be uploaded on to the dashboard but the app is setup and ready to go.

I'm definitely in impatient mode. :D

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

When I first went onto Smart Meters I could see I went days of Octopus not requesting the 30min readings from my Gas meter where as all data for my Electricity Meter got uploaded as normal. I did contact support as I was concerned it wasnt working properly and they said when they request the monthly bill they will pull the data from the Meters so not to worry, but they have done that twice now when I requested it and over the last week the data from my Gas gets uploaded daily.

It's a shame Octopus Compare doesn't support Gas readings, but that other site does which I likely use more.

You should go to the link I posted on 4th May regarding signing up for an Octopus Home Mini thingamajig that may come in handy for seeing the data alot quicker.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I signed up for an Octopus mini yesterday. I only use gas for our central heating with a couple of bowls of hot water a day for washing up. So the 1/2 hour electric monitors have always come in handy.

I used to try to do the saving sessions but during the times they were active there was hardly any electricity being used so gave it up as being a frustrating waste of time for us.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

So you don't use gas for baths and showers?

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Don't use the bath and we have an electric shower. :D

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Unit prices seem high for the Tracker at the moment but still 4-5 pence cheaper than variable for Electricity, so don't be put off, for me my rates for tomorrow will be 21.12 for Electricity and 4.21 for Gas but that's still 16% and 30% cheaper in my case.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Mine will be 20.57 for electricity and 4.16 for gas. I'm not really checking seriously until I have a full week/months figure, although the prices vary day by day it's the overall figures that count.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

This site gives you information on pricing for the Tracker for the last year, it's mostly below the standard tariff, atleast in my area. Scroll down to get to the graphs.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Another missive direct from Scottish Power:

"We're obligated by the government to install smart meters in our customers' homes.

The smart meter rollout in the UK has been designed to build a foundation for a smarter, more environmentally friendly energy system that will benefit us all, now and in the future. As part of this nationwide effort, all energy suppliers are obligated by the Government to install smart meters in their customers' homes.

Therefore, please book a smart meter installation appointment as soon as possible."

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

"The installation programme of smart meters, launched by the Government in 2011, is hugely over budget and behind schedule.

Ofgem has said it is concerned about the 'slow progress of installations for smart prepayment meters, and the potential impact of that on vulnerable households'.

Late last year, six companies were fined a combined £10.8 million for missing the regulator's 2022 targets."

---------- Post added at 14:26 ---------- Previous post was at 13:03 ----------

Another email from Scottish Power

"How can a smart meter help me save money?

As highlighted by the Energy Saving Trust*: "A smart meter supports you with reducing your energy consumption. When you can see and understand how you're using energy, it helps you manage that. That means lower bills for you and a lower carbon footprint too."

Will my readings and bills be accurate?

Not only does a smart meter monitor your energy use but it also provides us with accurate automatic meter readings2 and, if you choose to have an In-Home Display (IHD), you can see your usage in pounds and pence. Accurate readings mean that you can avoid paying for more energy than you use.

What else does a smart meter give me access to?

The technology provided by a smart meter helps you consider a wider range of energy tariffs and tools. When you become a ScottishPower smart customer you'll be able to access Energy Insights , our handy energy monitoring tool. With Energy Insights you can track your energy habits to pinpoint changes that could help you save energy.

Are smart meters safe?

The smart meters used in Britain have passed strict safety testing and are covered by UK and EU product safety legislation† . Your energy supplier also receives alerts about your smart meter functionality, when it's connected to the network, meaning any potential issues can be identified quickly. For more details, please visit the Smart Energy GB website . Smart meter technology can also be helpful in power cut situations - making it easier to identify outages and get them sorted.

Can I switch suppliers?

Yes. If you have a smart meter, you can switch energy supplier and tariff in exactly the same way that anyone with a traditional meter can."

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Just popped in to Tesco on way home from work to get a free Caramel Custard Donut from Greggs courtesy of OctoPlus, I could get used to these freebies now I have a Greggs in my Tesco Extra I always shop at!

Getting smart meters and going on the Tracker Tariff is probably one of the financially best things I've done.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I am going to take the two tickets for £10:00 offer to go and watch Dune 2 next week. I also use the Greggs offer :)

My latest calculations indicate that if i move to Agile i will save £307.00 year. For context we use a lot of electric for various reason one of which is my EV. However the EV is saving me £130 a month over the diesel car i was using for work. We have a very efficient boiler which uses very little gas. So it does look like i will be moving to Agile.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Peak Charging? The rich won't care.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wZn9FFWIig

No and most dont realise what they will be incurring once they allow this in thier house!!

Im trying to help Paul avoid this..... I hope he stays with his meter!!!!!

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

They really aren't bad or scary.

Also in the real world if your meter is super old and needs replaced then it needs replaced.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

You spread so much rubbish or maybe it's disinformation, I don't think Paul needs your help! Lol

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

You are correct, and I'll almost certainly be arranging it in the summer.

Well I hope works out OK for ya buddy :)

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I've seen someone say they are on Agile for Electricity and on Tracker for Gas so you don't have to move back onto flexible for Gas I believe.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

That,s what they told me on the phone. I am moving at the end of the month to Agile :).

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Next door is having yet another visit to try to make their smart meters actually send out readings.

I wonder whats stopping it from doing so??

Have ya tried a different meter? (Im assuming they have)

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I've been away for a week and kept track of my Electricity and Gas usage via the Octopus App. My Electricity daily usage has been around 2kWh and my Gas around 5kWh(this was left on to heat the hot water twice a day). I have an old boiler so maybe I should turn off my hot water and use zero gas when away although it's only costing me 21p a day in Gas usage.

How does this compare to other people's usage when they're away from home for a week? Obviously my Electricity must be from my fridge freezer and when the boiler trips on to heat the hot water mainly.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

They have been changed "several" times, but none can receive a signal or get one through to the nearby masts. But all work when not fitted in place. I strongly belive it's a Faraday Cage effect due to the way the house was built.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I would set the boiler to only heat water on demand. That would save you a small fortune over time. Upgrading your boiler would really help too.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I don't have an on demand boiler it's 26 years old and have a hot water Megaflow tank for storage, it's not really cost affective for me to spend £5K or whatever changing it but I will do it before gas boilers are banned as I don't want a heat pump.

It's the Electricity usage I'm more interested in comparing when people are away from home for a week, but I can't do anything about that as obviously the freezer stays on.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

We have a chest freezer and fridge that are usually left on when we are away. The usage is usually just under 20kwh per week, so under 3kwh per day.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I would check on that. We had a 20+ year old combi boiler that would have cost upwards of £800 to repair so we bit the bullet and bought a new boiler for a smidge over £2000. The savings in gas use was astounding! We reckon the new boiler will pay for itself in under 4 years. That is including spending money on annual servicing to keep the warranty going.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

A few years ago my boiler was repaired for around £800, I did get someone to cost a new boiler and was recommended that as I had a Megaflow I could keep that so would have gone with another conventional boiler to keep it the cost down, so thought about that but decided this time just to get it repaired as I live in a 2 bed house I don't have a huge bill,it's currently £70 a month and this will drop now I'm on the no brainer Tracker Tariff.

If I stay in this house past the decade I will have to get a new boiler fitted as I don't want a heat pump and may not have room for one.

Hmmmm thats very interesting that the signal cant get thru!!!

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

During the summer I adjust by boiler to only heat water once in the morning (although another time may be best for you).
My tank keeps it warm enough for the rest of the day provided we don't do a lot of washing or bathing.

But if you are away for a week you may as well turn the whole thing off.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I've never tested only heating the water once, I suspect it'll get rather cool as it'll fill with cold water after showers etc.

I've just calculated my weekly Gas meter £ usage and it's only around £1.40 so I may as well just leave it on as I'm not sure how much Gas would get used to heat the whole tank up from cold on return.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Just had the mail confirming my smart mini is on its way. :)

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Not heard anything about mine, did you signup before or after me?

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I guarantee it would use less gas overall but it is of course up to you.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I think it may have been before, i signed up in Feb.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Yes I only got smart meters April 5th.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Have you got the Home Mini setup yet and how is it?

Another question does your IHD display the wrong Tariff information as mine does? Luckily my Octopus app and last bill appears to show the correct Tariff pricing.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Booked my install for 21st June. No doubt will be asking here what tariff I should be using too once they’re installed

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I received it today and will set it up tomorrow. Due to being on Tracker my old IHD shows the wrong tariff

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I figured it was the Tracker being the issue.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Clowns.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Yes.

That was enough for me, I've set in motion a move to Octopus.

I asked them about E7 and they can switch me to the flat rate (none E7) on my meter once its switched, they just dont have that option on the sign up process.

Once moved, I'll look at getting them to install a new meter instead, then I should be able to think about moving to the tracker tariff.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

My mini is all setup and working. I do like the live view. Screen shot taken whilst charging my car this morning.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Hope I get mine soon then I'll replace the IHD with it.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

What are the tariff costs for them? I'm not moving from my Octopus Tracker but id like to compare.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

You really should find out, log into your account or check a paper statement.

You could save alot of money by switching to Octopus and going on their tracker Tariff or you may learn that yours is a better deal, you don't even have to speak to a human to swap, the new provider does it all automatically when you request a switch and any credit funds go with it.

At the moment(today) I'm saving 23% on Gas and 16% on Electricity being on the Tracker and these are on the high end of the ever changing prices, they're often alot lower.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I have reluctantly signed up for a smart metre. Only because I think this could save money.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

2 meters and are you with Octopus?

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

When you connect it make sure you wait the hour as per the instructions. After the hour you should start to see the live readings appearing on your app.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Thanks, I also heard to make sure both wireless frequencies are separated with different names and passwords as it only connects to 2.4, luckily that is the first thing I did when I got my hub5.

How is your device will it be useful and does it replace your IHD?

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

It has replaced the IHD. It is very useful and has already shown me how much power some devices are pulling. Based off that i can look for lower power devices over time.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Yes gas and electric with octopus (my previous provider went bust and was bought by octopus).

I have people in the house all day so my reckoning is I will pay less if I'm on agile. At least if the current trends continue. It won't be difficult to run the dishwasher at night.

Lets hope they do :)

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I had my first full month Tracker bill today, I saved around £11 over SVT, the daily Tracker rates are a little higher this month for some reason but it's still a saving. I didn't have to do the maths the Octoprice site works that out for you.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Well, my move to Octopus went through ok, in the end.
Lots of fun last week because they created two accounts on my address.
Trying to get them to fix that was ... painful.

I seem to be on something called "Flexible Octopus" atm.
It doesnt mention Economy 7 at all, so that may be fixed already.

Attempted a Smart Meter booking, but its unclear if it worked, as they dont list anything in my account.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

---------- Post added at 08:25 ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 ----------


Flexible Octopus is the normal Tariff I was on before switching to the Tracker.

Smart meters installed yet?

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I was transferred late February, and all appeared to be going smoothly until the 8th of May bill, where the system credited the April electricity bill, then recharged me for all electricity usage (already paid for) since I was transferred on the 24th February, putting my account nearly £200 in debit (I owed them).

Took me 5 emails and 3 weeks to sort out (I was in North Cyprus for half the time, so I wasn’t going to call them, and once you’ve started an email chain, it’s better, imho, to carry on that route for consistency and continuity) - seems resolved now.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Flexible Octopus is the non-smart tracker tariff.

They should have sent a confirmation email for the booking.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

I had the same issue, It took a phone call and about 30mins to fix. I was told it was down to Shell messing up the final meter readings which they had sent twice. Octopus was able to check back over my reading and correct the bill. My bills have been fine since.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Agreed - but Octopus should have had some form of validation to ensure that shouldn’t have happened…

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

3 vans turned into 4 as various techs tried to get yet another smart meter to communicate next door. No luck again.

You would think they would install the meter ABOVE THE ROOF but they dont seem start enough to realise something is going on!!


Do cell phones work inside thier house??

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Above the roof are you nuts, you didn't think about what that comment implies did you?

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Above the roof?? No the meters need to be physically accessible.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Only close to windows, I was told, but not in the hall and stairwell on the same side of the house as the meter boxes.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Could the supply meter not be instaaled in a box on the exterior of the building as with many relatvely new (about 20 years) estates?

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

How's your first month on the Tracker Tariff?

Not a bad rate yesterday it was 15.14 compared to 25.26 for the flexible tariff in my area, some people on the Agile Tariff got free Electricity too, but Agile isn't suitable for my usage times.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Just had my email too.

How long did it take to turn up and who delivers it incase I'm not home?

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Not sure of the Gas savings and can't be bothered doing the calculation yet but I have saved £16+ on electricity.

My compare app has been less than helpful with dates disappearing and not tying in with my bill dates. Wish there was a Gas Compare equivalent app but seeing evidence of a £16+ saving this month on electricity alone means I will stick with the Tracker option.

Like you Agile isn't suitable for us.

All in all I will just pay the bills as normal keeping an eye on the average trend in prices, and, as long as I am saving something over the standard rates, I will be happy.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Mine was about a week and they posted it through the letter box as the box is small.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

If you go to the octopriceuk site and assuming you have added your API link from your Octopus account then you can see all your savings at a glance as it does the maths for you.

Thanks I did find out it's Royal Mail so I don't need to be home.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Long answer. :D ......
I have been trying to use the octoprice site but it would never accept that the API/my account existed.

I did have a couple of glitches with a couple of weeks readings at the new rate disappearing but when I phoned it was soon sorted out and the correct figures for my period on Tracker were used when my bill was generated.

Phoned again yesterday after yet a another fruitless attempt to register and a nice lady octopus found that (despite my account now being sorted) I still had a marker on my account and she wondered whether this was the cause of my problem
..so...fingers crossed with the marker on my account having now been removed it be recognised by octoprice.

Up date. Just tried again and I now have Octoprice. :)
I have left my screed in place in case it throws a light on may be happening if any one else is having a similar problem.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

If it's fixed it should work straight away.

Strange that your API worked with the Octopus Compare app, or maybe you don't have to paste in the API link as I can't remember?

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

See end of my last post. I've got in. :) :) :)

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
 

Great, it means when you click on 'My Savings' you will see some savings info which should be accurate to a few pence compared to your bill(atleast it was for mine). Depending on where you click on the graph it either gives you your savings from the start of your Tracker period or the given Day/Month you clicked on.

Another good piece of info is to click on 'Data Checker' this shows you what data has been sent to Octopus, usually my Gas data is a little behind the Electricity data being sent. Try not to worry too much if you see data missing but it may be a problem.

My savings since I went on the Tracker on April 11th are £16.02 for Electricity and £13.20 for Gas compared to their Flexible Tariff.
