Probably just noise then. If the charger still works and there's no smell of electronics in the garage then don't worry about it.

Wasn't sure over what time period that was. If it's just for the period shown on screen then does seem high. A component short-circuiting will draw a very high current for a very short period of time (equally true for a noise spike). Maybe the sample rate of the monitor is only a handful of readings per second. In which case a huge but very short spike might appear to use more energy than it did. Edit: quick maths: To produce a reading of 2.8kWh for a recorded spike of 1 second you'd need to measure a draw of ~10kW or about 42A. A brief short circuit could be much more than that.

Does the Zappi still work? Either something went pop inside it or it's just mometary glitch in the data (maybe noise pickup)?

It's never been the look for me (though I like the look). The whole appeal of standing seam for me is (assuming it's continuous on a single surface) nowhere that can leak. All the joins overlap and crimp in place. Therefore, once you add junctions and weird shapes the appeal fades.

Ah it's been a while! Not sure if it's the forum being quieter or you've been slacking

Sounds a bit like we've built layers upon layers of bureaucracy to achieve nothing except making us an unattractive market. An argument for removing the higher taxes and also the offsetting tax rebates. 'Back to basics' lol or maybe K.I.S.S.

Should have an email/invoice somewhere also. Failing that log in to your Starlink account should show up there (though maybe not until you are setup)

Ok so it is currently 800W. They may want more but doubt this will change for quite sometime now. Politicians will call it done and move on to the next challenge.

Something I saw as part of this news this morning is that the tax on north sea extraction is 78%. This surprised me so not sure if it's true, but if true, it does seem high given the remaining oil is harder to get. If that 78% includes the government taking on clean up costs and other things then fine. But if not, then seems to me it would be sensible to lower it to encourage some further extraction. I think humanity should stop burning oil asap but until we do I don't see why we should import it if we have a local source.

Can't you just look up what model you had delivered and go from that and look at online guides specifically for that model? I think your situation is fairly common and there's lots of help/guides out there. Given its a new install most likely you have the same as Gen3 OnOff.

I think this is already a thing with bigger equipment (commercial) with the use of commando style plugs being discouraged or outright prohibitied (can't remember) when they used to be the norm.

John's copy/paste above says 800W per household. Where have you seen it per circuit?

Drain the cylinder and stick a borescope camera in and have a look? Cheap cameras are £10 on amazon. EDIT: it's a vented tank so maybe there is something other than scale in there.

Sounds like scale on the HW coil in the cylinder. Descaling likely hard, so maybe time to think about a new cylinder?

The electrical industry raised some concerns about this but turns out it isn't a bit deal. The devices work two way they just aren't tested/certified for it. Exception might be if the mains power is down and the panel is feeding power to the grid (but that can't happen due to the mandatory safety checks built in).
