Yes, you also have to have it set to every 30mins to be able to go onto Tariffs like Tracker, Agile etc.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
Agile I can understand, but Tracker is a daily rate, so why does it need 30 minute readings ?

You make a good point about Tracker and I can't find any info where it says you need to change the preferences to 30mins for any Smart Tariffs but when I had mine installed I'm sure I read it somewhere, maybe it was when I clicked through the signup page.
I think their Home Mini thingimajig may even beam readings every 10mins, mine gets delivered tomorrow.
If you or anyone wants to go onto the waiting list you can signup here.

Are you finding it useful?
Edit
Mines just been put under my gate in the rain, not sure why they didn't knock on the door that I was standing next to.
Edit 2
It's a shame I have to connect my mobile phone to the 2.4Ghz WiFi for it to work.

Looks like you only need the 2.4Ghz WiFi on your mobile device that the app is on during setup, still don't understand why.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
Perhaps the mini only has 2.4Ghz, thats the case with most automation devices.

My confusion is why it is only on setup because I've now changed my phone back to 5Ghz and the device is still working, it was giving me the impression that the device was connected to my phone all the time but I can now see it in the router devices as a 2.4 device so that's fine.

Good point having seen your post my IHD is unplugged and in the cupboard
---------- Post added at 20:16 ---------- Previous post was at 19:41 ----------
I was out in my car today and needed to charge at the motorway services, Stopped at Charnock Richard and used the Applegreen chargers to top up. The charge went straight on my Octopus Electroverse rift card. I then pay on my electric bill at the end of the month. Excellent additional service by octopus.
Anyone here that has a Octopus account and an EV pm me for a code if you want to join.

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?
Smart meters installed yesterday, nothing showing on the IHD yet
Installer found a slight leak on the existing gas meter , apparently lots of people have them but don’t realise

I had a minute leak with gas too, but it was so small it was nothing to worry about and with in legal specification to not fix, couldn't actually trace where it came from.
My IHD worked with in an hour, although its not needed and I have now unplugged it since getting the Octopus Home Mini which allows for checking everything via the Octopus App. It mainly gives you a Live reading for either 5 or 30mins for Electricity or every 30mins for Gas, It's worth getting it seeing it's free.
Join the waiting list it takes a month or so.
