      Hey @Andy2Gd ! Welcome to the OVO Forum! :)

      Please wait while your request is being handled. Your local @Tim_OVO has been notified of your presence.

      In the meantime, there's a small matter of the entry fee. It's £1,000,000 per week. XD

      Great to have another Heat Pump trialist in the house, @Andy2Gd.

       

      Happy to hand over the keys to the exclusive Smart Home Trials Treehouse (free of charge of course!) :key:

       

      Why not introduce yourself and your new setup over here:

        Welcome @malc_smith 

        We haven’t yet seen anyone else here from a Sönnen trial :slight_smile:

        Are you part of the cluster SE of Lincoln?

        Ah. So that’s a new trial, and no longer in an area for which I have the map of the [color=#d98c00]Distribution Grid[/color]. :slight_frown:

        We’ll await a Moderator to give your ID the permissions to enter the Smart Home Treehouse. When you get there you’ll notice that almost all the topics are from participants in a [color=#f07861]Heat Pump Trial[/color] in SE England.

        I suggest you introduce us to yourself and describe what installation you have in the Welcome topic. I’ll then help to set up a new Topic specifically for those with Sönnen [color=#A08010]Storage Batteries[/color].

        (That link to the Welcome topic won’t work until you’re granted access of course!)

        Hi @malc_smith and Welcome to the OVO online community,

         

        As @Transparent mentions you’re our first Sonnen battery trialist to pop up here so it’s really great to have you onboard. 

         

        I’ve just updated your Forum profile permissions giving you full access to the Smart Home Trials area and the thread @Transparent linked to above. So we’d love to see some photos of your setup there when you get the chance!

         

        Think we might need a new Sonnen battery thread?  :blush:

          Hi @hambrook 

          Rest assured that @Tim_OVO or @Jess_OVO will be along shortly to ask you to choose a Mental, Mystery, Physical or Skill challenge in order to gain entry.

          This looks like an ‘interesting’ one…

          See you on the other side.
