Android app has stopped showing electricity usage - gas is still showing?

Hi, my android OVO app hasn't shown any electricity usage/cost since 20th October. Gas is fine. I've checked my SMETS1 smart meter and it's blinking and pausing as it should, therefore sending data. AFAIK, I have the latest version of the app, 15.5.0.

Accounts with meters that weren’t able to communicate with the DDC during the migration, will be contacted to have the meter replaced to ensure that it can communicate with us as it should be.

That check isn't working, I'm afraid. Tried in different browsers.

Probably means your meter has yet to be migrated to the DCC

https://www.smartdcc.co.uk/

All meters should be migrated by the end of  the year or they should be replaced next year.

Else i would have suggest trying one of the 3rd party apps

But i don't think that will work

Could you post a photo of your meter @Blastoise186 is great at identifying meters and may have a bit of info that is useful

@Jeffus Thank you. It is useful to see daily usage. I do understand that what is on the usage page is not necessarily guaranteed to be the same as the meter reading.

Yep. Only checking as yours is definitely not the same issue that @Emmanuelle_OVO is linking you to.

Hey @ChrisHarris,

 

We’ve had this similar issue on the Forum:

 

But this seems to be affecting customers with first generation meters recently enrolled on the DCC:

 

 

 

See if the usage information comes back in a few days, if not, please keep us posted on this thread.

@Emmanuelle_OVO this issue @ChrisHarris is seeing is definitely not the same issue as your first link.

As @ChrisHarris says, he can see info on the Meter Reading page fine.

The customers in the link have had several years smart meter readings deleted from the Meter Reading page...they are in a dramatically worse position.

Daily usage is not showing on both online and android app although meter readings show on both. This is only happening to electric reaings. I cannot seem determine if my meter has been switched to DCC but that may be the problem if it has.

@ChrisHarris nothing specific to suggest it is to do with the DCC switch but of course it could be.  Some of us with SMETS2 meters were missing 30min usage data over October before it came back. @Emmanuelle_OVO ​​​​@Tim_OVO tracked the users impacted at that time

Hey @ChrisHarris,

 

Thanks for your response, 

 

I’d advise contacting Support and raising this issue, I’d advise asking them if you have recently been enrolled on the DCC, or if it’s been initiated. We’ve had an issue with a number of our customers who’ve recently been enrolled and we’ve raised this internally and it’s been raised to the DCC. It seems to be affecting third parties such as Bright as well. 

 

If not, as @Jeffus advised, yours might be a separate technical issue. 

 

Keep us posted with how you get on.

@Emmanuelle_OVO Thank you. Support have onfirmed that my meter is not on DCC  yet. They are forwarding the problem on to their programmers.

@Emmanuelle_OVO just read your answer to @squiffell not sure if you’re aware but when you raise a complaint via the complaints procedure no one responds to that complaint, when you write a letter no one responds to the letter, not good
