Why have I lost smart half hourly usage data on Daily usage section of online account?

Daily usage says “No gas data available”. Monthly usage shows values for each day.  Just starting to analyse gas usage again, against Hive schedule and temperature monitoring before having more energy efficiency work done.

Sorry to hear about the missing smart meter usage data on your online account or OVO app (download for Android or iOS).

 

We’ve now resolved the known tech issue that was causing a lack of usage data to show despite good communication with your smart meters, so if your usage data has not yet been restored it’s more likely to indicate a communication issue with your meters.

 

It’s worth carrying out a smart meter health check for your meter type below and contacting our Support Team with the results:

 

SMETS1 Secure Smart Meter Health Check guide

SMETS2 Smart Meter Health Check guide

 

They might also request some screenshots of your usage pages, which can help get to the bottom of things (if there’s no communication issues with your meters).

 

Hope this helps - Keep us updated here as it really helps others who might be seeing similar in future. 🙂

@amackayj  @Golferbell  & @Jess_OVO 

Just a heads-up,

my usage stats across the web portal & the ovo app are back up with no apparent ill affect’s from the down time 👍

 

Tom…

Mine too

So if this has happened to any of you, an email to hello@ovoenergy.com will do the trick

Great to hear you’ve noticed the usage page bug has been fixed, @amackayj and @TomThumb.

 

I’ve had word from the usage team that a general fix is in place which should sort the issue for all affected members. If you’re yet to see your usage data return in a few days do let us know in the comments below and we can re-highlight this one to the team. :ok_hand:

I check usage for gas and electric  on the Ap and it shows daily/monthly and yearly amounts. I have a modern metre fitted and don’t use the plug in smart metre.   6 weeks ago this ceased to work at 2am in the morning a figure of about £700 credit showed and the daily ie every 30min figures ceased to show.  A few days later the £700 figure disappeared and the daily usage just shows the total for the day but not the breakdown every 30 min and it says this usage data is not available.  I have lodgers and really liked the breakdown every 30 mins it was useful.  Tried a few enquiries with OVO to no avail.    I think the amounts showing are correct it’s just the breakdown.  Really appreciate any ideas on this!

I have had this problem as well on a couple of occasions.

The daily total appears but there is no underlying usage at the half-hourly level.

Daily totals seem to be about right and the problem may persist for a day or two or up to a week.

Last time the figures were OK until 01:00 31st March and then started working again 00:00 6th April.

I understand that the data is collected from the smart meters by one of a number of third-party companies and then transmitted to OVO.

It appears to be an issue between the time the data is collected  and the time it arrives at OVO, so there could be a number of reasons, possibly even with the telecoms network which would be totally outside the control of OVO et al. 

As this doesn’t happen very often I can live without the breakdown but would be prepared to call OVO if this ever became a persistent problem.

If this doesn’t get corrected “automatically” then a call to OVO would probably be the best route as it could just be that your smart meter needs to be reconfigured to report every 30 minutes as it may have “lost” it’s settings and defaulted to daily.

Thanks.  My reporting disappeared in mid May and has not returned.  I do find it very useful in demonstrating the cost of running various appliances and heaters especially in the winter.one of our rooms is quite. Chilly.    I did call OVO but was advised there are no customer facing staff I could talk with but information could be passed on.  I discussed the issue in detail but to no avail.    
 OVO please can you contact me to look into this?   The person I spoke to didn’t even know there was 30 min reporting.

I need to resolve this malfunction.  Any other feedback or ideas?   Many thanks.

My 30 minute data stopped appearing after 00:30 on May 14th.

Does that date synch with anyone else's issues?

My data on gas for 30 mins does not show . Ovo said I have to give permission for them to take readings. I am a new account holder. And will take a few weeks to re calibrate everything. Hopefully gets sorted. Even so all readings going through as normal.

I’m so sorry to hear that a few of you have lost the useful half-hourly usage data on your online accounts.

 

As long as your smart meters are in communication and scheduled to send us a reading every half an hour we’d usually expect this data to show under the kWh view. I’ve forwarded this thread on to our tech team to check whether a wider technical issue might be disrupting things.

 

I’ll pop back if I hear more but in the meantime, do keep us updated here if you notice any changes.

Yes my 30 min info disappeared around 16 May 2022.   Just looked at usage now and absolutely everything is blank.   Ovo please advise me how to rectify this ASAP.

My usage data is fine and records half hourly electric up to 0300 16 05 22.  There after it has disappeared until present time 

Does anyone get the gas shown every 30 mins ?

Ovo please can you arrange for someone to look into this and come back to me.  Thanks 

Any other thoughts or ideas I would much appreciate.    Many thanks
