I've just started the sign-up process for Intelligent Octopus Flux (hoping the onboarding goes better than others seem to have experienced).
My Octopus homepage tells me that they "Need to book your smartmeter exchange". Really?? I've got a smartmeter already compatible with SEG and have used Octopus R&D in the past. Do they really need to change my meter?
Does your smartmeter report half-hourly readings? These are needed for smart tariffs.
DD Yup - I've already been on a smart tariff. Maybe it's just an automated state on the website. Let's see!
Looks like it was just a step in the automatic onboarding. Presumably their systems have checked the meter remotely and established that it's compatible.
Now up and running on Intelligent Octopus Flux.
I had that message too. It eventually disappeared. They didn’t need to change the meter.
