New Export MPAN
Hello,
I’ve had a Glow IHD working perfectly for the last year.
We’ve now had a solar PV & battery system installed and am in the process of getting electricity export set up on the smart meter by Octopus. Via the Octopus API I see a new electricity MPAN as appeared. I assume this is for export metering.
In the Glow MQTT electricity message I see the export data still showing as 0 and import continues to be shown against the pre existing MPAN. Makes sense whilst things are still being setup.
My question: do I need to do anything in the Bright app to enable the new MPAN or will it happen automatically?
Thanks,
Steve

Have you resolved as in same position though new MPAN not yet received as still in process of export being set up (Octopus)?
Thank you.
hi - has this been resolved?
Is a second MPAN needed for the smart meter - so the actual export readings can be made available to download?
Cheers M.
Bright, Glow IHD does not support export at the moment. If you're lucky you may get a real-time export reading but no historic data.
You can calculate the export from the Glow IHD stuff.
I'm doing that with my simple Arduino sketch that displays the current "meterReading/out/elec" from my Glowmarkt IHD on a simple LED strip. I'll put the latest code on github at https://github.com/DougieLawson/glowmarkt

Is there a duffers guide on how to run the code to get export data?
Thanks M.
Have you simply cloned it and built it?
Read the code, I think my code is fairly self-explanatory.
