Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be on Agile?
No — the board accepts any Octopus product and tariff code. Agile is where time-of-use pricing is most striking, but the board works for any plan.
How safe is my API key?
API keys are stored alongside board settings and treated as secrets. Configure them through the secure settings site only.
Can it show carbon as well as price?
For carbon, pair it with the UK Carbon board on the same wall — they complement each other.
UK Carbon Intensity Board
Turn grid carbon data into living colour on your wall. Track how clean UK electricity is in real time with modes for national overview, regional breakdown, or postcode-level focus.
