@bontwoody I am just looking into adding another 6.5 kWh battery to our system. We were on Octopus Cosy after we installed the heat pump towards end o...

@broadsman That's a good shout. I can't see the flow data, but can see input power and delivered heat by hour. Also, can track input electricity on th...
