Does the usage on my Smart Meter IHD include the standing charge?

Many people are indeed tracking their usage more closely these days which is why I began looking at the various data feeds on offer. There’s a whole thread on that but for me the bottom line is that depending on what you want to see, different systems are better in different situations. 
Because I like to see comparisons I do use the OVO usage info to look back and compare to prior months or years. But from day to day, the Bright Energy app has a useful graphic comparing specific days or recent weeks or even months. 
Here’s an example: 

Also not documented but you can switch off individual days by clicking on the indexed name. It gives a really good comparison of day to day changes and is also only a few hours behind real time

That’s brilliant @BPLightlog thats v useful as I’m trying to work out if solar will really be useful for my heat pump and if so how many panels, and can I get away without battery storage.

As more and more people are checking energy usage very closely now, it is confusing when the IHD shows a value and you have no idea if it includes extras (Std Chg + VAT).

I realise that they should do but from reading several posts it is not obvious and in my own case the standing charge for electricity is there almost immediately (early hours) but for gas it doesn’t appear until later in the day. 
Is there not a way to regularise this or at least indicate somehow?

On the apps I keep mentioning, it is either switchable or more obvious which is the case

eg Hugo app

Is that a screen shot of the Hugo app? 

Yes @Jeffus. I switch between Hugo, Loop and Bright depending on what I want to see … mixed up my description 🤦‍♂️

I’ll correct my post

I know the 66-67p in the morning is my standing charge, however, my standing charge is 61.11. Why the extra 5-6p? All I have on at night is WiFi and a small fridge so it’s not that. Is it because VAT is added to the meter display amount?

Hi @jmcdonald , if you’re talking about on the in home display (IHD) then it does include VAT
