I'm a new Economy 7 customer trying to submit opening meter reading - Why are you allowing only a single reading?

Hello everyone ,

Hope you all  are keeping well.

I was previously a SSE customer with an Economy 7 tariff  with  a dual rate (off peak and peak  and was switched to OVO recently.

Since the switch to OVO from  SSE  my  water boiler ( Pulsacoil 2000 )  was not powering up during the off peak hours to boil water as usual.

 Therefore I discussed this matter with  OVO and  OVO installed a new  smart meter  (ACLARA) as suggested and that resolved the issue.

The new  smart  meter also  shows two readings (TOU rate 01  peak reading ) and  (TOU rate 2 -off peak reading ).

But now the OVO app is not allowing me to submit meter reading separately instead it allows only to submit only a single reading.

My current OVO energy plan is Simpler Energy Economy 7 with dual rates 

Dose anybody know why I cannot submit meter readings  for peak and doff peak separately ?

How do I resolve this issue ?

Thanks ...

You won’t need to submit readings anymore as that new meter should do it for you.

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply 

But the OVO app is asking me to send readings Manually..

You may need to call 0330 303 5063 in that case

Hey @Helarisi,

Sorry for the issues you’re having,

If you got your smart meter installed in the last 6 weeks it may not yet be updated on your account. It might be worth completing a smart meter health check if your new meter is showing on your Online Account but we aren’t in communication with it:

• Identifying Smart Meter Issues on your online account or OVO app Tutorial

• Second generation (S2) Aclara smart meter health check (SMHC) Tutorial

Keep us posted with how you get on.

Hi

I have a smart meter but because the phone signal in the village is poor I have to provide the meter readings (2 = peak and off-peak) due to previous owner’s economy 7, that we don’t have but can’t get ovo to change to one meter reading for some reason. Anyway, I have to manually enter the 2 readings into either the app or online but now I can only enter the Peak reading and not the off peak in either. I have had to ring and get the advisor to enter the readings the last two months but no explanation or fix to enable me to input both readings moving on….How do I get either peak and off-peak changed to one normal reading or failing that get the ability to enter both readings again??
