Bright vs OctoPulse

Monitor your energy consumption anytime, anywhere with Bright. For real-time data you need Glowmarkt compatible hardware (https://shop.glowmarkt.com/) - which works with either smart or traditional meters. People with SMETS2 (or E&A SMETS 1) meters can access their half hourly data with Bright for free, once they go through our verification process. Bright lets you check your energy consumption, this could be electricity and gas usage from your smart meters, via the DCC or our Consumer Access Device (CAD). Clamp-on technology sensors can support electricity usage monitoring. Our goal is to help you manage your energy consumption and spend more efficiently as we all strive to become more carbon efficient.

OctoPulse turns your Octopus Energy smart meter data into three simple daily rings, so you can see at a glance how today is going and what to do about it. THREE DAILY RINGS • Save: spend less than a usual day • Shift (or Trim): use more electricity when it's cheap, or cut your always-on baseload • Green: use power when the grid is cleanest Prefer the original OctoPulse view? Switch the rings to Spend, Electricity and Gas against your 30-day average. EVERY NUMBER, IN FULL Tap any reading (power right now, price, electricity, gas, unit price, baseload, peak share or carbon) to see it over 30 days to a year, with your normal range, your weekly pattern, trends and what it means. PRICES AND GREENER HOURS Agile and other time-of-use prices for the next 12 hours, with the cheapest window highlighted and a reminder before it starts. On flat tariffs, the greenest hours on the grid instead. LIVE WITH HOME MINI See what your home is using right now, updated every few seconds. HISTORY AND CALENDAR Day, week, month and year views with compare, plus a calendar that shows which days ran high for any metric.
