I haven't investigated how it works but suppliers like Octopus do have variable payback schemes which have replaced the FIT for new installations. For peace of mind maybe worth checking out.

Dropped Octopus a line chasing up my smart meter install 2 days ago, they responded today saying that have have a slot on Tuesday if convenient (it is). Work chasing them up if you're on the waiting list.
On checking account this morning it says I’m now on Octopus Go June 2018, but the unit rate makes no mention of the 5p four hour rate overnight. Would have thought it should have and have emailed Octopus for clarification. Just wondering if this is what others on Go see or whether something else on the account still needs to be done to activate the 5p rate? I can see thirty minute readings now in my account.

Had mine fitted in the 10th and still not moved and have chased them againHaving just had the meter fitted on Tuesday, I got an email a little earlier to sign up to Go starting from midnight tonight.
So, off we Go!
My IHD did switch to the Go 13.98 after my account had it activated. Perhaps turn if off using the button on the back and restart? Or it could just be that it takes a couple of days.Interestingly, or perhaps not, the IHD doesn’t show the Go tariff. It shows the one I was on before switching, so all the budget information it purports to give will be inaccurate.
Is a lag on seeing the thirty minute readings in your account normal?
Fitted on Tuesday, readings for Wednesday and Thursday showing, but nothing since. Or is that an indication of an issue already? All the lights on the meter are flashing green as they should.
I expect you’ll find gaps quite frequently. I do. Sometimes they take a week to catch up too. They get there in the end!Yes I saw a gap for a couple of days about 3 days after I started receiving readings in my account. This seemed to resolve itself with the missing readings later being populated, but this might also have been influenced by a DM to Octopus on Twitter - although they didn't say they had fixed anything, it was passed to the smart meter team (with no follow-up).
I was thinking an app for the times you are away from home.
