Octopus energy need to rethink the radio advert, they start by saying bigger isn't always better, and then continue by saying they are Britain's biggest energy supplier. DOH!

I finally got our daily electricity cost graph working in Home Assistant! 📈 Plotly can be a steep learning curve, but a little Claude help made this visualisation happen. The biggest issue I had was calculating the export savings.

A heads up to anyone with Octopus in the UK for their energy.
If you're on the agile tariff which fluctuates daily depending on renewables... Tomorrow is a bumper day.
From around 11pm tonight, until 4pm tomorrow... the price has gone negative.
This means, for every kwh of energy you import and use, they will pay you the corresponding fee.
Sadly... I'm not on this one, but i do follow the prices, to see if it would work for me... But until I can sort out proper home automation (given that setting up the raspberry pi has quadrupled in price recently, so... unlikely). it's not worth switching.
The rates for tomorrow are insane 😱
16 hours of negative pricing, with an average of 0.54p across the entire day, and a low of -11.04p 😵
If only I wasn't at work and could take advantage.
A storm is brewing which means I get paid to use electricity for 3.5 hours today... Thanks Dave 💨 ⚡
