Rather than create a new thread, I have posted here...
Does anybody else use the Octo-Aid app & have an Octopus Home Mini?
Octo-Aid gives very detailed information about your electricity & gas tariffs (+ daily Agile), consumption, export, budgeting & forecasting, comparative data and other beta features in development. Packed with detail & very useful.
However I've only just noticed that the app contains a small 'Live' tab which is giving me real time consumption, the same information as my Octopus Home Mini but in a far more useful manner including live cost based on my IO tariff at the time and graphing of current electricity consumption in a more useful style as well as comparison with the same day the previous week.

(...a couple of years ago a friend of mine mentioned that his programmer son Andrew, a Tesla Model 3 owner was writing an Octopus app for himself & I've used it on & off ever since (he calls it "
as much a community driven project as it is a personal project"). There is no cost to download/use the app & I have no other affiliation other than as a user with an occasional message to Andy giving feedback/asking for tweaks. If anyone here would like to suggest additions or modifications to the app then please mention it and I will let him know)
