Questions around reporting and kWh usage and £

Hi all

I’m wondering if someone can help me on a bit of an anomaly, I think I asked the question before but now can’t find the thread, or or it lost when discussions went on a tangent

Whilst I appreciate I should only focus on the actual amount taken as a direct debit, and on this months statement is correct, and in line with my expectations as the bill was £89, additionally I expect this to drop with the installation of an iboost + in the last few days, however the figures on the EON app for cost and kWh usage are significantly higher than I’d anticipated, is this because

1) The kWh usage in the EON app takes into account the kWh exported to the grid?
2) The kWh usage on the GivEnergy portal is inaccurate?
3) Whist I appreciate the GivEnergy daily usage doesn’t account for the standing charge, how much as a percentage is the variation of kWh usage?
4) The app and display device in the house doesn’t account for dual tariffs?
5) How accurate is the kWh usage within the GivEnergy reporting?
6) How accurate is the power and energy graphs in thr GivEnergy app?

Sorry for all the questions, but answers to each would be greatly appreciated.

I’m thinking of just removing the in-house display device, as it’s wildly inaccurate.

All figures from the Givenergy app or portal are for guidance only and will not be accurate.

Do not remove your IHD, it is the best way to accurately monitor your usage.

On your IHD ignore any figures in £, only units are reported correctly. The most useful display is the instantaneous reading, which should normally be zero in eco mode.

Read your meter. Set an alarm, say for 10pm, and go read your meter. Subtract yesterdays reading from todays reading to get todays consumption. Learn how to read both the import and export registers.

Rubikcube I'm not sure I agree that the IHD is useful - for those with a big enough battery/solar, daytime import is minimal, and so the IHD shows current import of 0. It is true that the IHD is completely correct on number of kWh consumed (mostly) overnight. But I assume that the EON app is also accessing the uploaded meter readings, and so is equally precise, though probably delayed by 24 hours. I wouldn't necessarily trust the app's estimate of price - like the IHD, it may not be configured correctly for your tariff.

I'm not sure where the image with the ring and 3.52kWh is from - the iOS version of the GE app? But that's showing consumption, and therefore only some of the grid import - it's not showing grid-to-battery.
