New Feature: User Account integration with Octopus

After last week's announcement regarding user accounts I am proud to announce a new integration with the Octopus API. A new settings page has been added to user accounts where you can configure your Octopus API key. Configuring this key allows AgileBuddy to download your account and usage information from Octopus, which you can try out on our new energy usage page. This is the culmination of more than a month's work to enhance user accounts with personalised consumption data.

This feature adds some much needed transparancy regarding your energy usage:

  • View your usage over the last week, month, quarter or year
  • See usage and rates side by side, including the actual cost of your energy use
    • This is especially useful for those on Agile or Tracker tariffs
  • See statistics about your usage
    • Average daily usage and cost
    • Earnings from Plunge pricing
    • Your base load (typical minimum usage)
    • Your peak load (peak usage)
  • Details of your account(s) with Octopus
  • An overview of your current and previous Octopus tariffs

Try it out on our new energy usage page. This functionality is still under active development, so please be patient if you encounter any issues. Feel free to contact us if you have any problems or feedback.
