@Optimus Prime not sure what you mean by drilling? I was with the installer nearly all the time he was here and I don’t remember any drilling for my installation. But that could be because of my existing setup. Also what do you mean by in? They came into the flat to turn off the RCD unit. Then back in again after the installation to turn on the RCD unit and tested a socket in the hallway to ensure the electricity was flowing. At ths stage they also show me the little gizmo that shows usage, was working. As I said earlier not entirely usefuly in my situation as the meter was only updating Scottish Power once a day.
When I asked them by email they told me that the little gizmo would be mounted on a wall in my flat. I think they got confused with the meter…[/quote
@Optimus Prime The IHD is portable and can be kept anywhere near a socket.
In terms of seeing usage and costs, Scottish Power make some or all of their data available on their app and their website. It definitely shows daily data. I don’t know if it shows the data at a more granular level because as I said before I don’t get the more frequent updates.
I would hope the data for the app and the website would show the correct cost figures because both systems will/should have access to the contract data for each user.Edited to add it looks like I don’t know how to use the quote feature.
For anyone with octopus they offer a little mini hub

This then shows live usage data in the octopus app. I have the IHD plugged but to be honest never use it. Everything is in the app
