Honestly this is better than nothing and very welcome for me. Not often I say good things about Michael Gove but he's done a great job on this and the cladding fiasco.
The real thing that cripples me as a leaseholder though is the service charges, which have doubled since I bought the place. The whole thing is a total con.
Interesting, but who is charging on Ionity and Osprey at 11pm? Taxi drivers?
Giffgaff uses o2 and also blocks duckdns. Additionally, whatever blocklist my employer is using also blocks it, so it's probably a common thing now.
I had a similar experience and I couldn't figure out why - this explains it!
Definitely better in built up areas. I've never had a problem with one, even on 4+ hour journeys on motorways and A roads. From what other EV drivers say though I gather the problem is worse in the north than the south.
I've tried a lot of different things before settling on a old (windows) laptop with a wireless mouse and keyboard... I just cba with any of the streaming boxes anymore, and the laptop will always be compatible and performant.
I really like my smart meter. Never have to do meter reads and the bills are always correct. Plus I can see how much I'm using, if I've left the oven on, etc.
I'm assuming they'd be using the $5 per month mentioned in the opening post to pay for some upgrade, e.g. more storage, more RAM, etc. So they'd be on a paid account, but using services that cost zero dollars for the most part. This is what I do and it's been great.
Shiny is pretty good. You can do interactive sliders to filter date ranges in that, and you control what happens when you slide it in the code. It's not as slick as grafana though.
One downside is it started off as an R package then got ported to python, so most resources are for R. Fine for me because I know R, but most people don't.
Here's the python link: https://shiny.rstudio.com/py/
Not OP but that's really useful to know!
Yet another thing she's wrong about
Same here. Works great, incredibly cheap too.
