I wrote script to save me money and automatically switch my tariff between Agile and Go depending on which one comes out cheaper that day.
I, like many of you, was tired of the Agile pounding we've been getting lately and have been tariff hopping between Agile and Go to dodge the pain. I realised it's not a very complicated process so I decided to automate it
And because the switch takes effect on the same day, the costs get re-calculated on the new tariff meaning I no longer have to pay attention to my costs because the bot will ensure I always pay the lowest cost.
Example: At 11pm my Agile costs come out to £2.50 for that day, but the bot finds that if I were on Go it would only cost £1.80. The bot automatically switches me to Go and when the bill time comes I'm only charged £1.80. Repeat the same process every day.
I wrote a blog that goes into more detail about it if anyone wants to read it - Min-Maxing Octopus Energy’s smart tariffs. Can I have my Agile cake and eat it too?
