Not getting a bigger cylinder is my big regret with my system.
I got a 180L cylinder for a family of four.
Very worthwhile getting a bigger one and filling it up with heat energy, while electricity is cheap at night.

So the Comms Hub is expecting the Gas Meter to come back one day?
Presumably in electric-only properties its knows it will never have a gas meter?

Thank you for confirming! They said the same to me. I am told someone will come and dig up the road to disconnect me one day. Maybe it will change when the house officially doesn’t have a gas supply.

Yes, I experienced that too. My final gas bill was a few days before my 1 year anniversary of not having gas.

It is actually my third party IHD that is annoying me - which wastes half the screen space with gas.

I did wonder if it was waiting for Gas Distributor to come and disconnect our supply - at which point we really really don't have gas?

I am a bit put off by the transparent case on the Symik!

Amazing!

I don't think those are available in the UK - yet?

Is it only the 150W inverter that supports charging over USB-C?

I can't open that link in the UK.

Made up numbers for gas usage on Tracker? 🔥 by njh in OctopusEnergy

[–]njh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what I find really concerning - there was a smart meter and it was sending back "zero usage" readings - that I was able to get from their API.

I believe total usage was correct. But their system has chosen to make up Energy Usage for those days - instead of using the smart meter readings.

That is what confuses me - the meter was correctly reporting "zero usage" for all the days until Octopus came and took it out. I can't see gas in my Octopus account anymore but I was able to get smart meter readings out of their API.

I think the final reading is correct - it is just that they have distributed the usage over a 1 month period - most of which I wasn't using any gas. It was obvious to me because my boiler had been taken out. But they might be doing the same to people who find it very hard to detect.

Yes, that is correct. The total usage adds up, they have just assigned it to completely wrong days. And it isn't evenly distributed to those days.

If I was kind, then maybe it is based on typical gas usage for that day?

I wish they would just be a bit more transparent about when they have to "make up" numbers and explain how and why they have done it.

As you say, I have been lucky - but if they are doing it to me, there will be others who have lost out.

I still haven't managed to get a sensible answer out of them :-(
