Sorry Kezo I’ve been snowed under my father in law is in hospital and it’s my birthday today so I’ve been really busy. I’m just heading out to my daughters for my party so will go over everything you have posted tomorrow.
Thanks for all the info 👍

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.Rhodgie I can’t remember what it said but it was after the junction for Paisley going west bound. It then changed to take me to erskine bridge.
After checking the route today it should have taken me off at Braehead.

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.Just had another nightmare on sat nav, unfortunately I was on the motorway and it told me to come off at an exit that didn’t exist. I had to continue on the motorway for five miles before I could get off and come all the way back and then it reset itself. I eventually turned it off and used my phone. Don’t think I’ll be using it again which is a shame as love using the “Heads up Dispaly” 😞

a person or thing that is a perfect example of a particular quality or type.
“she looked the epitome of elegance and good taste”Well done Joss👍

@joss I think that’s the job of you guys 😂 and I’m sure you do it on a daily basis.I hope MF is not in any way offended by this thread as there was no offence intended 👍

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.@mitch on a more serious note it’s imperative you keep yourself busy. I retired early 16 years ago to look after the wife and there’s a lot of free time to deal with.
I have a lot of interests to keep me going but even with them, during the winter months in particular, the days can seem very long.
Do you have any interests or hobbies you can rely on to keep the body and grey matter occupied?

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.@kezo as I said I only use it now and again if I’m searching for something so basic, basic. However if there is anything you guys think should be on it to future proof it then I’m open to that, no point in going down the same route a couple of years from now.

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.I ran the diagnostic tool and my existing computer is not able to update to 11. I’ve considered buying a new basic computer and might still go down that route but I’m likely to give the work around a go and see what I get as far as updates etc to 11 once it’s loaded.
Theres something about sitting in-front of a computer that I like.
I get my first pension pay out this month so maybe I’ll treat myself to a new computer.
Now if I go for a new one what is the minimum spec I should be looking for?

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.A lot to unpack there Kezo so let me tell you my existing set up. I have my solar, via my 8.8 kWh Sunsynk inverter, set to sell but I have another 3.6kwh inverter that goes to the house.
It’s a Hypervolt charger that I have and I don’t know how to tell if it’s wired grid side or not.
I have no urge to do anything nowadays 😂 but home assistant seemed like the answer even though I don’t know what the question is lol.
The problem I have is that during the summer months I will almost always be sending power back to the grid but to keep IOG you need to have your charger plugged into the car for a certain amount of time. I can of course plug it into but prevent it from charging via my Hyundai app but not sure if that will satisfy Octopus.
Home assistant seems to be able to stop/pause power coming from your battery when cheap power is being supplied from Octopus but not sure it can do anything for solar.
The set up will change as we approach autumn/winter as my solar will drop off drastically and it will be much easier to control the battery on its own as I will be setting it to power my air pump and the house and just selling off what’s left at night but as far as I’m aware Hime Assistant, if set up correctly, can manage all of these things.
So I am not familiar with Home Assistant or any of these things add ons but I’m confident I can master the basics but I’ve no evidence to support this bold claim 😂

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.I had a Quick Look at the app and it refers specifically to Tesla cars. Does it work with other cars?

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.@Rugbyleague I’m no expert but the way I run my system is all solar is sold back to the grid. I charge my 48kwh batteries at night on cheap rate and sell any energy left in the batteries back to the grid @ 15p. I never charge my batteries with solar as it’s cheaper to fully charge them at night.
Most UK houses use less than 10kw of energy to run a house so your battery should have spare electricity to sell back to the grid at a profit, but at 7p and sell at 15.
when you are selling your energy, solar or battery, back to the grid you can’t import any additional free slots of cheap energy without the faff of setting your solar to fill the battery and stopping your battery selling to the grid. So most people in our situation don’t get the additional cheap slots during the day.
Home Assistant however can do this for you, so I’m told, and that why I’m looking to get it installed so I don’t need to mess about with my system.
I hope that makes sense 🤞 lol

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.The thing about solar production, or selling back power from your home battery, is that unless you have a 3 phase power supply when you are sending power back to the grid you can’t import cheap electricity from the grid. This is a problem especially in summer, depending on the size of your solar system, when it’s likely you will be generating power, and sending to the grid, for most of the day.

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.I have solar and home batteries also but getting them to work seamlessly is near impossible. I’m investigating Home Assistant to set up control of the above plus EV charging and running my air source heat pump.
Im going to open a thread on “Off Topic” to pick the brains of anyone who has done it previously.

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.I’ve had no problems with squeaking brakes so far. I’m still getting used to the size of the car, as the front slopes away it’s sometimes difficult to judge exactly how far you are from obstruction s. Tge camera is first class though and a Quick Look and you know exactly how much room you have.
The seats are pretty good but not quite as good as our xc40.
Still getting used a few things but loving the car. Everyone I’ve shown it to think it’s excellent so I’m ready happy with our choice.
I don’t think I’ve mentioned this but it’s a babe magnet, well when I say babe she was the right side of 70 but I’m taking it as a win 😂

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.@Rugbyleague do Eon differentiate between plug in hybrids and full BEVs. Most people with a plug in hybrid will have a granny charger and with Octopus it’s unlikely you will get onto Intelligent Octopus Go, the 7p per kWh option, without a n ev charger.
That’s a really good price you are getting and I think they pay more for solar as well.
The only person who got all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe.
Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.Yes a granny charger (three pin plug) would do the job nicely.
Octopus Go would probably give you the cheapest deal at 8.5p per kw. If you can do your washings, dishwasher etc during the cheap period you will be charged 8.5p from 00:30 till 05:30.
