    SMETS 1 and SMETS 2 installs for EV tariffs.

    When my supplier went bust, I was moved to EDF. They said my B. Gas. Landis & Gyr "dumb" Smart Meters would be updated to work, and they were working within about a month! I don't know whether they are good enough for Octopus though, but they are sending readings every 30 minutes.

    Wallbox Pulsar Plus Bluetooth connection issues

    I used to use my Nokia 5.3 running Android 10 successfully, and currently use my Google Pixel 4A running Android 11. It sounds like it could be a Bluetooth data issue on your Android Phone. Did you turn on and configure Wi-fi while you had your daughter's iPhone, then try from somewhere out of...

    Octopus Go Rates Updated - 7.5p

    That wouldn't make any sense to switch to when the variable tariff would be capped at about 21p/kWh! You would be paying at least 10p more per kWh for normal hours usage!

    Electricity price, are BGas taking the P ?

    Money saving expert advice is to stay on Std. Variable tariff which is capped by Ofgen. Some suppliers try and push fixed tariffs which aren't capped, and are much more expensive. They're trying to get you to pay more! Stay on Variable. When my supplier went bust, they moved me to EDF on the...

    Smart Home Charge

    I used them to install my Wallbox Pulsar Plus. I had to send photos/videos of my meter box, fuse box and where I wanted my charger, along with a wide shot proving I had off road parking. They quoted for the charger plus a DCBO. I had to pay up front. The original appointment had to be postponed...

    Wallbox pulsar plus problem

    You haven't got any network extenders at home (Homeplug or some sky boxes have them built in). They are known to stop EV charging due to interference on the mains. It might be worth turning off everything in the house briefly to see if it states charging, then gradually turn thing back on.

    Electricity prices to rise?

    I have when my supplier folded, Ofgen transferred me to EDF. They have emailed saying it's in hand, but the original direct debit is still going out and besides EDF saying I'm on the standard tariff there has been very little update. In fairness, the company's that folded were pretty big, and...

    Choosing a home fast charger

    I've been charging my MG5 with my Wallbox Pulsar Plus without issue since March. I did have to apply a couple of updates initially, and have applied several since using the app. I don't use any timers, but I do keep it locked, and have auto lock set to on after 4 minutes. I just plug my MG5 in...

    Quick query about Gridserve

    I believe they "reserve" £20 to cover the charge costs, then take the actual amount. It depends on your bank how this is shown, but they should only take the amount used.

    Security flaws with Wallbox and Project EV

    I have a Wallbox Pulsar Plus, and would recommend it. The article doesn't say which model/version of Wallbox had the issue, but does say Wallbox fixed it within 2 days. Other comments re the circuit board would require taking the unit apart, which makes no sense, as a hammer could open any...

    Wallbox pulsar plus problem

    You haven't accidentally moved the current setting in the app down from 32A have you? Basically you can rotate the current to any value below the 32A max. Finger on the circle and rotate.
