Inconsistent values between HA Energy Dashboard and Bright App about ha-hildebrandglow-dcc HOT 2 CLOSED

Ahh that makes sense thank you :-)

And thanks for the integration, it's much better than calling the Octopus API directly from HA.

I suggest this is casued by different sampling methods.

The Bright app is likely (a guess on my part) to show the a measurement from the meter by asing for a reading of a specific time slot e.g., 07:00 to 08:00.

Whereas the way HA and thus this integration work is by polling and taking the current meter reading. It then calcuates usage based on the difference between now and the previous reading.. Thus where HA shows 07:00 to 08:00, it could actually mean 07:10 to 08:10.

This is then further confused by the fact updates from DCC come every 30 minutes, depending on how this aligns with the hour, the results will be different.

So not really a "bug", but a "feature" of the way it all works.
