@sarah_go_green @OctopusEnergy When you went to heatpump did you add an extra battery? I currently have a 9.5kwh giv energy battery. My thinking is add another if we get a HP and that hopefully keeps us off peak rate

So after my shower I thought i'd share my tip about adding a timer to your hot water tank. @OctopusEnergy has great IOG and Go rates now for offpeak and if you heat your hot water on gas it'll most likely work out cheaper if your rates for gas and electricty are like mine.

@RAIL Whats the point? GBR livery soon???

@GivEnergy are you still trading? We are getting no response from yourselves for support with our battery/inverter. @OctopusEnergy

@sarah_go_green @OctopusEnergy what’s not clear from @OctopusEnergy is this 6 hours thing mean: Your given a slot say between 7pm - 9pm (2 hours) and that comes off the 6 hour 11:30pm - 5:30am daily? Or 6hours intelligent is in addition? In theory you could have 12 hours of 7p charging??

If you get home assistant and get very geeky you can program that. I have HA but haven't had time to go down this rabbit hole. So what i do is i ALWAYS set an end time for 5.30am for my IOG and i set me GIv battery to charge overnight ending at 5.30AM. This was i always wake up with 100% battery storage and the desired % on my EV. NOW if Octopus give me extra slots it'll be before I go to bed. After plugging in I glance to see the schedule and I manually turn the battery off and on using the Giv app to charge for example 7pk to 8pm if that's been given as an extra. What would help if Giv app allowed you to do that and click to limit to to 30 minutes or an hour. That way you could click fo charge at say 7.30pm and you'd know you had it preset only for 30 minutes off if you forgot it would juts go back to discharging manually.

@sarah_go_green given @OctopusEnergy changes to intelligent go. (6 hour limit) have you abandoned the intelligent thing and just set your Tesla and house batt to charge between 11:30pm & 5:30am?? I’m thinking that will be the best way forward??

@sarah_go_green @OctopusEnergy Ok - so if the system will limited to 6 hours then that makes sense. My issue is intelligent plays havoc with house battery. Be good if @OctopusEnergy added the ability to force charge Giv energy house batt when intelligent is active

No. That was my worry. That i'd end up doing exactly that and so would lots of others. attendances haven't cime in yet and as far as i understand it the suggest i made to have the ability to say don't charge beyond 6 hours is being added. With the ability to plug in abs not have to work out the % that keeps the EV charging to a max of 6 hours and still handing over the vehicle to be charged on intelligent go you'll know that you won't go over the 7p rate even though Octopus are sorting the schedule.

Be very selective what you buy from @TheRangeUK Trying to return an item but live chats being ignored, store won’t take item as it was a range partner and emailed the range and they just ignore. Also raised complaint but again ignored. Appalling

@samhailes Christian Twitter!

And they will know we are Christians by the way we shout at each other on X.

@samhailes @DrCalumMiller God Breathed does not mean God written. Inspired / life giving - yes. Imperfect people wrote the scriptures using their own vocabulary, culture, style, and understanding, While God inspired, guided, and influenced what was written.

@StephenLucas_ @DrCalumMiller Everything you say is true. But 1 Timothy 3:16 is also true. "All scripture is God breathed". I'm perfectly comfortable with the falibility of Christians and the infalibility of God's word. Both are true.

Go to a Bible-believing church FYI that rules out many (not all) of the high Anglican churches, no matter how beautiful their liturgy

@samhailes @DrCalumMiller Problem with ‘biblical authority’ is your putting the writers of the bible in authority. Those writers are imperfect like all of us.

@DrCalumMiller Yes I think "biblical authority" is probably a more helpful term than "Bible believing." I spent a lot of time in not liberal Christian circles when I was younger. And people used "Bible believing" as a stick to beat anyone who didn't agree with their exact interpretation.
