Improving the usage tracker: temperature observations and user notes

That sounds useful

As OVO has your address, the temperature could easily be local. 

The notes are a nice idea. I can imagine that being useful when comparing with last year for me for example 

A nice relatively low tech solution. 

I agree it would be useful although I look across my several apps and wish I had something to bring together energy use, temperature, humidity, light control, proximity sensors, video doorbell .., and so on. 
My smart thermostat gives me gas plus local temperature but of course no electric use (apart from the boiler itself)
 

Looks like I might have to take the plunge on a smart home hub 🤔

 Hey @Arthur Mactavish,

Thanks for sharing this idea! Great stuff here, I think this could be really useful. As @Jeffus pointed out it’s a low tech solution and OVO will already have customer addresses so access to temperature data. 

I’ll change the status of this idea to ‘Open for votes’ and our product team will be sent the details. I’ll come back with an update when I have it! 😊 I’ve assigned this to the ‘online account’ product. 

Just a quick extra thought:

    -  Is it (could it be) possible to download the usage (and, if it becomes available, the temperature data and user notes) in .csv and excel format?  I’d like to be able to do my own analysis.

    -  For the plot of usage against temperature (I’d imagined a scatter plot, with one symbol representing usage for each day), it would be good to do this separately for the selected month, or year (basically, exactly as we can do with the usage tracker.

     -  If the user notes get implemented, it would be nice if they appear when the user hovers the mouse over the relevant data point (the bar, or, if we get a scatter plot, the symbol).  Again, as happens with the current usage bar charts, which shows the daily usage.

Many thanks for OVO for providing some great online tools - and for providing this forum!

Hey @Arthur Mactavish,

Great ideas here! 

I think it could be useful to raise that as a separate ‘idea? That way we can see how many votes it gets and whether other users would be interested? If it’s within scope, we could raise it to our product team 😊

Thanks @Emmanuelle_OVO , I’ve done that:
