@pimentoad look at strptime - I’m using it to assemble some sensors reporting in datetime format here, for example https://github.com/garethmarlow/Home-AssistantConfig/blob/main/packages/energy_management/co2_battery_management.yaml

@emma "gmem" expands to "[email protected]" and "gmeq" expands to "[email protected]" which gives me, conservatively, four hours per day back.
@andrewhinton @aaronesilvers @steveportigal I mean the *youngest* gen-xer is 43. 50+? WTF. GenX needs to be renamed "the forgotten generation". Not that I'm bitter.

those time picker cards are nice, hadn't seen them before.

the DFS has been about as £££ worthwhile as the power-ups, even though there have been way fewer events. The power-ups generally mean I load-shift from the IO off-peak at 7p/kWh to the power-up at 0p/kWh. In Feb we got free power worth £19 through power-ups and earned £19 from DFS. Total cost for the month including standing charge was £30.

Total electricity consumed so far in December: 618kWh (house and car)

Total cost of electricity consumed so far December including standing charge: minus £7.68

Crazy.

@ifr that was ace.

Saving even more money with solar + home batteries.

I revisit my earlier cost analysis now that winter has arrived, and show how the National Grid Demand Flexibility Service, and the Octopus Power-up scheme have had a significant impact on our costs.
