I have but I face rebellion from the household seeing as the first go only saved us 2p.

How did you wangle that? My signup was rejected due to missing readings, even though they looked complete to me at first glanceYes, but as they are not getting meter readings from us & it's greyer than a grey day that's grey outside with zero panel generation unless we go out for food which will cost us more than we would save it's a little pointless in that respect.

there's another octopus saving session today at 17:00pm until 18:00pm.....
You can't cram much into an hour.
How much do you actually save?
Timing seems curious, can't help wondering if a marketing gimmick though am with Octopus and like* - don't have a smartmeter though.
* They have been sending old folks (doesn't include me) free decent electric blankets for lounging in.

I think that's the point.
If they're asking you to go without electricity for the evening - who would do that ?
This is just taking the peak off the demand.
Start cooking after 6pm instead of on the dot of 5.
Why so suspicious?
I think it's just an experiment to see what people are prepared to do, I would think that the peak time is 4pm until 7pm & they are trying to come up with a way to encourage people to consider their usage between those hours. If they can reduce the peak, then presumably they can refrain from building the network up further, or at least in the short term.
However the cynic may say they are also experimenting as to when they put the high rates in to curb demand via Smart meters
