You really should find out, log into your account or check a paper statement.

You could save alot of money by switching to Octopus and going on their tracker Tariff or you may learn that yours is a better deal, you don't even have to speak to a human to swap, the new provider does it all automatically when you request a switch and any credit funds go with it.

At the moment(today) I'm saving 23% on Gas and 16% on Electricity being on the Tracker and these are on the high end of the ever changing prices, they're often alot lower.

I have reluctantly signed up for a smart metre. Only because I think this could save money.

When you connect it make sure you wait the hour as per the instructions. After the hour you should start to see the live readings appearing on your app.

Thanks, I also heard to make sure both wireless frequencies are separated with different names and passwords as it only connects to 2.4, luckily that is the first thing I did when I got my hub5.

How is your device will it be useful and does it replace your IHD?

It has replaced the IHD. It is very useful and has already shown me how much power some devices are pulling. Based off that i can look for lower power devices over time.

Yes gas and electric with octopus (my previous provider went bust and was bought by octopus).

I have people in the house all day so my reckoning is I will pay less if I'm on agile. At least if the current trends continue. It won't be difficult to run the dishwasher at night.
