Is the OVO app down?

Cheers

It appears you can log onto the internet OVO members section, not app OVO. And even the internet OVO is giving incorrect readings for 30th June. Anyone else experienced this? I presume OVO will sort this out in next day or so. Usage on internet doesn’t match my smart meter (which I know is correct). 
 

have a good day all 

You can actually get more information by using both the app and online. For example, the new PowerMove challenge is accessible online but not on the app as far as I can tell. You can go online on a handheld device just following a link and can also save that link as an icon to access like you do the app. Don’t forget that both access their information on line. 

The other thing I know is that both routes access your account in different ways, so generally one going down is less likely to knock out the other.

I’ve been playing with MyOVO all morning via the web and it seems to be working just fine. So it’s probably just the app.

Thank you for the info.   Whilst I am a newbie here I am really frustrated with access issues and accuracy of information.   For example on the website today there are 2 different values for my energy usage yesterday depending on whether I check the daily or monthly tab (see images below).   It shouldn’t be that difficult for them to provide the same value!  I wonder which I will be charged for.
 

You won’t be charged based on either of those. The numbers you see there are a guide only and are based off of raw data from the meter.

Thanks.   Think I will give up using the App / website and revert to paper bills.  Seems pointless getting 2 different values for usage, presumably from the same meter and neither forms the basis for charging.

Actually, there’s no need to do that.

The place you actually want to check for that stuff is Billing History. https://account.ovoenergy.com/billing-history .

This is the one that OVO bills you to and is always what the actual bills are based on.

This is such a common question that it deserves a detailed answer. There’s a reason for any difference you may notice. Your smart meter provides two different sets of data for suppliers and others to pick up.

1. Each morning, suppliers will receive the meter readings which simply clock consumption since time immemorial. Readings are taken each day at midnight, and the readings for the past 400 days are stored in the meter.
2. The meter also records the actual consumption in every half-hour period. Suppliers like OVO poll for these data once a day; third-party data handlers usually on demand, so they get them normally not more than 30 minutes old.  

The Year and Month usage charts use the actual meter readings (1) to work out the usage for each period. The Day charts are a representation of the half-hourly figures (2). There are often minor discrepancies, especially between the daily totals seen on the Month and Day charts, as you noticed.

One reason for this is probably the fact that people are operating pt. on British Summer Time, while energy producers, distributors and suppliers always operate on UTC (Greenwich Mean Time by any other name). This means that usage between midnight and 1 AM is recorded on the previous day during BST. The difference is usually insignificant for the consumer, and will only have a monetary consequence when tariffs change, like yesterday. It all comes out in the wash eventually, and will rarely amount to more than a penny or two either way. The difference introduced at the start of BST will be reversed at the end.

Another reason may be the delay in transmitting usage data from the gas meter to the electricity meter and its attached communications hub. The gas meter’s transmitter is battery-operated, so it’s designed for minimum power draw, because changing the battery if it runs out is an expensive process involving an engineer visit. So while the comms hub can happily transmit electricity usage data every ten seconds or so to your In-House Display, gas readings will be much less frequent, e.g. every half-hour. So your Day usage charts may be missing a half-hour’s-worth of gas data every so often. Again, it all comes out in the wash eventually.

Your bills are calculated solely on the basis of the meter readings, just as OVO is billed by the distributor. The half-hourly data and charts are purely for your convenience, although OVO will keep an eye on them to help you and the world make better use of the energy we consume, e.g. via the Insights pages and the PowerMove initiative.

Why is OVO app on iPhone not working today ?

Yes, same problem.
