My last 12 months electricity bill continues to drop ... now average -£2.53/month. This is with #OctopusEnergy #solar #myenergi and #homeassisant . This covers my house electricity, hot water and car charging. It doesn't include heating.

Some failed automations with myenergi, though, so could have been a bit better.

I've got an #OctopusEnergy #CafeNero free drink code if anyone here in the UK can use a free Cafe Nero drink before the end of the day. I managed to get it first thing Monday when I couldn't sleep but didn't realise all the cafe neros around here have closed and the nearest ones are 30-40 mins plus paid parking to get to which defeats the point of a free drink. Let me know if you can use it today as the coupon expires today but would rather it get used than not!

I've been digging into #OctopusEnergy tarrifs again and I can't see why switching to one of the tarrifs for storage heaters (maybe Snug Octopus) wouldn't work for charging my battery overnight https://octopus.energy/tariffs/

@_calmdowndear I asked them, and they confirmed it was UTC, and doesn’t adjust for BST. So it’ll shift to 01:30-08:30 in the summer.
You're right to be cautious: the cheap hours vary. For #Octopus Intelligent Go (the tariff we use), there are six cheap hours a night:
I emailed #octopusEnergy, and they responded:
"For both the Fixed 12M and Flexible tariffs, the overnight period is from 00:30 to 07:30. This means you can take advantage of lower electricity unit rates during these hours."
Sorted 👍
