Indra V2H Trial
I joined twitter just for this, and sent:
"Joined Octopus late Aug with a function smart meter from Ovo, hoping to use Go for our EV. Octopus still can't connect to our elec meter (they do to the gas one). Noticed "uSwitch" wrongly think we have a business meter - related?"
Shortly I got back a Direct Message:
"Hi Rob, I just read your tweet and would love to help. I see you have an old generation electricity smart meter and we’re trying to connect to it. I’ve sent a request and need to wait to see if it goes through. I’ll check again this evening and let you know. Thanks, Hector"
I just checked, and uswitch now works correctly. I think that Ovo setup my meter in an unusual way 3 years ago somehow, such that both uswitch and Octopus couldn't understand it. All good now 🙂
It follows the load quite well. If the Indra box is "on", then the smart meter tends to read between -50W and +50W, except in the cheap 4 hour time.
I think if there's little PV, then we tend to pull in 10W to 50W from the grid - it moves up and down as we draw power - the heatpump kicks in and out (600W), the washing machine and fridge are on - they too intermittantly draw power. When there's some sun (when is that?), then from memory I think we tend to supply a varying 10W to 50W into the grid. Kettle+Toaster will likely draw too much and the Indra box will max out, and we start importing some from the grid - our Indra box is configured to +/-4kW.
