#Is anyone here using the Octopus Energy integration with a Home Mini?

Can't seem to get anything useful out of it~
Also can't post screenshots, so, uhh...

unknown means the device hasn't provided information to HA yet

Mm, the guide said it could take a couple hours... but it's been nearly a week now.
The Octopus app is gathering the figures just fine... I have energy usage charts for the last week or so.

I have data missing, is this an issue with the integration?#
Data can not appear for a variety of reasons. Before raising any issues, check if the data is available on the website for the requested period (e.g. for previous consumption, you'll be wanting data for the day before). If it's not available on the website, then unfortunately there is nothing that can be done and you may need to contact Octopus Energy.
Data might also not appear if you lose internet connection or the Octopus Energy APIs report errors, which can occur from time to time. This will be indicated in your Home Assistant logs as warnings around using cached data. If none of this is applicable, then please raise an issue so we can try and solve the problem.
If you are missing consumption data, the previous consumption sensors have an attribute (latest_available_data_timestamp) stating the timestamp of the latest consumption data that is available via the API.

I didn't see that... but I DO have data... at least in the Octopus app, at every 30min intervals.
There seems to be data for previous days in HA, from the "previous" sensors... though those aren't displaying in the Energy tab properly either... 🤔
I have just noticed this too...
Octopus Mini not valid for electricity meter Octopus Mini has been configured for account "A-A1E06318", but it's not available for electricity meter 1012532203434/S11C43921. If this is expected, you can ignore this notice, otherwise click "Learn More" with instructions on what to do next.
I did have a dumb gas and elec meter previous to the smart meters being installed. And my account does show 2 gas and 2 elec meters here in HA when I set the integration up... so I'm guessing these warnings are for the old meters no longer in use.
But none of the 4 devices receive useful data in HA.
Just re-added the integration, and now it's only seeing 2 meters. That's an improvement...
There hasn't been any option to set the IP address of the Home Mini as the setup guide suggests... which certainly would make it difficult for HA to obtain the usage figures...
