The Equivent on 6 Jan 2026 was scheduled from 17:00 to 19:00, i.e. 4 half hours or (4x30x60) 7200 seconds. But the Webhook payload stated 3600: Date: 06/01/2026 Start received: 17:01:56 ID: f40ddf6742b7761b0f7df1f65a…

There us something very unsatisfactory about in-app notifications: notifications about events you don’t opt into disappear. This leaves you feeling gaslighted! “Tap for more details” does nothing after an event. …

</div>

Couple of hours into tonight’s DFS event. Dunno if it’s an issue with how the 3hr event is displayed in the app, but our target seems unachievable - it’s suggesting using less than 1,1kwh over three hours I’m going to s…

You appear to support 14 brands of EV in your app but not Kia. Given the Niro was the third best-selling EV in the UK in 2023, why not? @Mark\_equiwatt

I’ve had smart plugs not responding, appearing offline to Equiwatt but online in Tapo, then as I was trying to check the status of the app a couple of minutes before tonight’s event, it reported “session expired”. Then t…

Today’s 90 minute powerdown throws up an issue with Kasa plugs. They can’t be set to turn off for a period longer than 60 minutes.

Opted in to this event around lunchtime today. 20mins ago I watched and waited for my Kasa plugs to go off, but they haven’t.

It’s good that your wrappers on plugs are biodegradable plastic, but are you working on your suppliers/associates too?

So I have a Sky box, a bunch of chargers and a TV plugged into a plug bar, now via a KP115. Uses about 13W when the chargers are doing nothing. So I’ve set a schedule on the plug to leave it off when we’re unlikely to n…
