Same to you, @jenthomson!

 

See below for the links to the area and the installation topic…

 

 

Welcome to the Smart Trials Treehouse! Have a look around, and consider sharing some pictures of your installation on this topic...

Howdy @jenthomson !

Your access will be granted once you provide the Sekrit Password. The Sekrit Password can be found by answering this question. What is the name of my smart meter and In-home Displays? As a clue, you can look at my profile by hovering over my avatar and then click Profile. :)

What is the Truth I seek?

With one, you may pass...

With Two you may know more…

Three, Commands me…

Welcome @briannolan !

Yup, I can certainly send up a Mod Signal for you. I’m not sure if @Tim_OVO and @Jess_OVO are still online right now, but we’ll aim to get you in by the morning. :)

Feel free to explore the forums while you wait. We hope to have you in shortly!

While you’re waiting @briannolan there’s a tutorial about [color=#f07861]Heat pumps[/color] here on the open [color=#3b6889]F[/color][color=#298070]o[/color][color=#138b55]r[/color][color=#339931]u[/color][color=#54a03a]m[/color] area which might be good to read.

It’s taken from subjects which arose within the Smart Home Treehouse and some of the follow-on comments have been made by customers on the trial.

Hi @briannolan and welcome to the OVO forum! :slight_smile:

 

We’re always happy to have another Smart Home trialist onboard. I’ve updated your profile so you can now access the Smart home trial area here. Why not introduce yourself and tell us about your setup in the welcome thread:

Thanks but the link doesn’t work- says I am not authorised to enter the area?  I am on the low carbon heat trial.

Sorry about that @Bell !

I’ll get @Tim_OVO and @Jess_OVO to double check your roles and permissions to make sure you’ve been granted the right access. We should get this fixed up shortly. I don’t have ModPowers myself so I can’t see what you’ve got. You’ll also need to be logged in to access the Smart Home Trials Treehouse. It’s hidden away from anyone who doesn’t have the key to get in there.

Thanks for hanging in there!
