No Smart Meter readings shown on the Online Account since the 1st October?

The website today shows the last smart meter readings as 30 September. Last night’s readings should be logged as 1 October. Have the new charges caused a problem? I have SMETS2 electricity and gas meters. It is now 10am on 1 October. My in home display is working.

Readings seem to have ceased at 00:30 on 30 September according to the app.

The missing daily readings happens at every switch of the price cap since i had a smart meter with ovo when i look at my account. I have learnt just to ignore it as i suspect it will never change. It doesn’t impact me as the next reading catches up. 

This is as far as i can go back on the readings page although i had an ovo smart meter before this. I guess old readings are removed. 

So i suspect i will see it every 3 months now.

Yes, mum’s is set at daily and nothing registered on 1st Oct, but todays reading looks to account for 2 days ok.

I now have electricity consumption data for the 30th, but nothing for gas. No October data at all, yet. Meter readings as shown in the app are stuck at 30th September values. September bill is "pending".

Great that it's working for some, but unfortunately we're not all there yet.

I have just noticed that half hourly gas data for 1 October ends at 21:30.  I’ll see if there’s a meter reading tonight.

According to my accounts, no actual smart meter readings are available for the 1st October!

No issues with any other smart meter reading apart from 1st April, the date of the last change in the price cap,

 

missing data on the day of a nationwide price increase! I see a trend forming.

I have a smart meter. Why , on the morning of the 3 October, are there no meter readings for the 1 October but there are for the 2nd? My bill is due today and shows estimated meter readings for the price increase period?

It’s good to hear this has been resolved for some...

@Tim_OVO

I still don't have an automated smart meter reading for 1st October and my 30 minute data is missing for 30th September. 30 minute data is present both before and after the 30th.

I raised this through chat with Abbie this morning and included screen prints.

It's the second time since 20th September that OVO has dropped the ball on reading and presenting smart meter consumption data.

Both Bright and Loop are showing 30 minute data for the 30th. Only OVO is not caught up.

And now they haven't bothered with meter readings today. Normally electricity would be available around 09:30 and gas a bit later. It's now 17:30 and no readings.

Also, they seem unable to decide whether to show half hourly details or only whole day totals for individual days. Or sometimes nothing.

 

How can they have half hourly detail for electricity, but no day total for electricity, and nothing at all for gas?

I get that there might be some commotion regarding tariffs, but this isn't about price/cost. It's just consumption data - from smart meters. It should be automatic and seamless. That said, they seem able to calculate a cost on one page, but not another.

Very disappointing! D-

Hi @Cherripie, thanks for posting this. 

 

For some this data did appear on the online account later in the weekend. For others it’s still missing. Are you able to check and let us know?

 

Your smart meter can store your usage data and meter readings for a certain period of time. @Blastoise186 can you remember how long / how much? 

 

So when something happens that means your online account doesn’t get the data on the day, it can get everything it needs in the following days.
