Honeywell Homes ( Resideo) is by far the very very best on the market. It's also ruddy expensive. I've had mine for about 15yrs... just change the batteries in your HR90s every year or so...

A good move to go for opentherm...providing your stat(s) is opentherm ...

Any idea when octopus launch their latest HP?

There is something going on but all I can do is switch off both the controller and inverter and see what happens. We have a few fridges and freezers, I'd say they pull 300watt or so.

That's about it, yep....less really as I'm averaging 8ppkwhr over a month. It's shown on my bill as this tiny but nigh on constant pull off the grid. Let's be candid, it's buttons.

It's pulling 11wh . At this moment I'm generating 3kw, nothing imported nor exported. 2.65kw into the batteries, the rest into the house.

Got mine set up, totally fine now. Except that I'm pulling this ...even though I'm on battery only. It's buttons, of course, more an interest than an issue.

That's my battery home storage being topped up to 70%...it's the tiny amounts during the day when I'm on battery which is strange.

If only the ruddy thing worked ( for me, anyway)

I've kind of given up relying on the data supplied from the laggy logger. Yes, though, I see the same as you. I don't have a SEG tariff, so use what it can. I find that the smart meter remote display gives me all the instant info I need. Otherwise, I walk 10ft and look at the inverter display...

Would anyone actually buy a new Tesla ? I ask that as the PDI on my ,albeit Co car..so I didn't care, was awful.

With the wallbox scheduled charge failing, with the car at only 20% (I've now binned the app etc) only 1kwhr of pv being generated , I was resigned to pay 30ppkwhr for the car charging. I replug in an IO have given me 7.05ppkwhr until 4am tomorrow. Yay.

Fridges, freezers etc will fire up the compressors occasionally. Do you have external lights?

Mine is a cheap as chips sofar system but for what it's worth If I haven't enough pv it'll pull from the batteries ( I get a bit from the grid if an iron calls for heat, that'll be due to the inverter getting a bit excited). I will put the washer- or whatever on etc when the batteries are...

If AC, I'd suggest not. With DC, the numbers will depend on 4mm v 6mm etc. However, I ran my 4mm up and down the trusses and down the outside wall ( in two runs of 20mm conduit) into my comms cupboard. I'd say a run of under 50ft. You can, of course, expect some losses but the solar is...

Or do what I have. Combi for the kitchen, cloak and utility room..but have an UV cylinder for the bathrooms and outside mixed feed for the pressure washer...with the cylinder directly next to the boiler.

I know them well.... :-)

Forgot that Mrs NN has a ipad pro. Going through set up now. Thanks to all for the top advice.

Like a complete tool and trusting my past experience, I removed my device, as IO was interfering with my solar charging of the car. Yep, I should have simply un-ticked the box. We are an android only house... It's not a train crash but the option of using the IO charging experience would be nice.

Good old Johnson and Starely?

Was quite a decent day, for Northern. 12kw so far. Dishwasher, washer, tumble dryer all used and car charged a bit.

Finally got my 4.05kwpv + 10kwhrs battery system completed. DIY job, with fully legit sparkie labouring on. All paperwork to be handled by him. Very content. I'm using Sofar Battery controller and Sofar pv inverter. Currently ( swidt) feeding in about 100watts a day ( nothing in reality). I...

The very same here, albeit with a loaner last year. IIRC the issue was with latching/detecting when plugged in. Can't help with the solution, as it went back with the fault.

Possibly. I was taught, as were my kiddiewinkles, to only buy anything providing you can afford to pay for it twice, at least.

I know they are going to dig the road up...the two paths and take up my block paving. However, they have told me what they have and so be it. If they wanted to get a few quid out of me, so be it but nope.

3 phase upgrade is chargeable, so that ain't happening. The contractor are allowed to move the meter.

Sadly, I have a Smet2 meter now ( autocorrect turned that to Smethwick, how awful)

I enquired about the meter move during the 2nd site visit. I was given the impression ( no, I was told) that the contractor will do this. I have asked for 3 phase but I'm not holding my breath.

The DNO are at ours in a few weeks, to finally unloop us ( detached property but on the end of a loop of another two houses). Road up, both paths, block paving up, meter cupboard at front of the house ( lovely), jointed and -later- reinstated. All gratis . Not sure what they'll make of the solar...

I have ripped out the downstairs cloakroom and now have all my eco kit in there.

Winter is the easy one :) Summer is almost as easy.... not likely to use the tumble dryer, for starters. I needed a new hobby perhaps energy monitoring could be it?

It's a long thread, forgive me if I've gone over well trodden ground. Going overboard with batteries will probably require a chunky inverter. Like others , mine will cope with about 3kw ( with just over 10kw battery storage BUT with a dod of 90%), We use about 170kwhr a week during the winter...

Silly question BUT are you connecting the correct model year?

Very much the same issues recently. I advised octopus, explaining the problem. They were OK with me removing the car, with no risk of losing the 7.5p tariff. I removed the app and set up the car, a month later.

Not true.. All charging is not at off peak.. Smart and post 11.30pm is however bump charging is another matter. A minor point, granted, but true nonetheless and a clarification of my earlier post.

Yep.. Becoming quite common.. There's another thread on this, somewhere

I'm doing mine this weekend.. My sparky mate, MCS registered etc, has suggested that I don't grind out the back of the tiles, where the hooks come through. I'm doubtful and may compromise and gob up around the gap. What with 90% of my roof being panelled, I'm not sure ..if at all..if there is a...

No one looks forward to zoom..ever.

I spent 12 months at Sellafield nuclear plant. On site there is/was an alarm that sounds constantly. After a while you don't notice it but I was told that if it did ever fall silent , you'd notice it...just before you started to glow.

Any fixes for a retina bleed, screwing up the macula in the right eye? ..7 eye lea injections in, still not 100%. 😉

I've just received a dual motor (plus) polestar 2 as a loaner, not bad not bad at all.

How? The motor isn't light..

Business only and will soon hit the used market. What's not to like?

At about group 50, I'm expecting £1k ( with 20+ yrs NCB) should I eventually buy this one. Might have to move to my son's home....

Hope it's sorted soon. Mine goes in tomorrow after a none fault bump in Nov, Barely noticeable damage to the NS rear 1/4 and bumper( once the white paint had been shifted) BUT the estimate is coming in at £2100. EEK! That doesn't include any potential repairs to the suspension etc ( there is a...

Conkers might be the name of a horse ( chestnut), so could easily be spotted

Not got around to throwing in my PVs yet. Scaffolders are now holding me up. However, by load shifting ( I.O) and using my 3 x 3000 pylontechs, I'm averaging under 11p per kwhr. Not too bad.

Was about to create a post on this. Spotify distorted on start up. Only solution seems to be a soft reset. Wonder if this is connected to the nav screen glitches?

I had the steam/vapour issue a few times. Never sussed it.
