***
For the last couple of months we've been working hard to add tariff comparison to our PowerShaper tool, to allow users to compare which tariff might suit them best based on their historical usage. At present the tool is at beta stage, but we're keen to get your ideas and feedback from user testing before we go any further.
=============================
Now in our regular monthly slot - every second Thursday of the month. A hangout for people taking control of their home energy usage and generation. We use open-source hardware and software to gain a better understanding of energy in our homes, how to make the best use of the energy we generate and reduce energy wasted.
Catch up on some of our previous sessions and presentations.
This is a Carbon Co-op initiative working with OpenEnergyMonitor, Home Assistant and the wider open source community.
