GB Energy Monitor (update)
New versions of the Python server and html files (v260823.8) were uploaded to Github this morning.
Too many tweaks and fixes in this update to list, but a major change in this update includes the use of Octopus Energy flexible tariff rates for your energy use history. The earlier version used fixed rates. If your gas costs look wrong, go to the settings and change the gas "Units" selection from "auto" to "SMETS2" (m3). Meter types vary and the API doesn't carry the "type" data.
Additionally on the Environment Agency page, there's a new local weather conditions section which pulls data from Open Weather and Open Meteo. This uses your Open Weather API key that is entered on the electricity page, so data will be missing if you don't enter it.
I've had good reports from users of this app so far, so if you're a bit of a geek (and live in England) give it a try!
