Using 'Home Assistant' for information

I wondered if anyone uses ‘Home Assistant’ (HA) to track and monitor your home (including power usage)?

The reason for the question is that I have recently set up my own system and now have a full view of energy, temperatures, humidity, voltage, frequency etc and I notice that the HA system has an OVO feed. I can’t test this myself as I don’t currently have an OVO account but it would be useful to know what it provides

After a couple of tests, it looks like this isn’t operational for an OVO account at present. Ah well, we live in hope 🤷‍♂️

Yes, I use Home Assistant to monitor power usage & export ... but from Octopus, and with a Home Mini which enables current readings.

    Thanks. Yes, mine is with Octopus currently too. 
    I'm trialing the Home Pro amongst other feeds
