Blog ≫ 2023 ≫ Energy graph tweak

Think my energy graph was slightly off. I noticed the coloured strips for the free energy were showing a peak of usage half hour before the free energy started, but I know I've been turning all the devices on right at 4pm when it starts. So guessed there was something up with the graph. Looks like it was out by half an hour. This changes all the "wake up time energy usage" too, and probably explains why I had a discrepancy between this number and the actual price showing when I used to have the little energy monitor box plugged in. So here's what it was:
