Saved 98% on the last Saving Session, a total of 3.214 kWh lower than typical usage. That's bagged another 5792 OctoPoints worth £7.24.

That's the most so far! Not sure how much effect moving loads into the In Day Adjustment window had on that figure. Total now 10048 points, not much compared to some of you out there but better than nowt.

@hobbitswife I'm getting all our power usage in between 1pm and 4pm, since that's the In Day Adjustment window for a 5pm session, so should bump up our adjusted baseline a bit and give more saving. I suppose it's "gaming" the system a bit but I'm not using any extra power unnecessarily, just load-shifting in an optimised way.
