Which energy suppliers does it work with?
Octopus Energy only, for now, and you need a smart meter sending readings. If you're with another supplier, the rest of Fixture works the same, but the energy screen won't have readings to show.

Questions people ask
What happens to my Octopus key?
Fixture stores it encrypted and uses it only to read your meter. It's never shown back to you or to anyone else, and disconnecting deletes it straight away.
Can Fixture change my tariff or my account?
No. Fixture only reads your usage. It can't switch your tariff, change your account or see your payment details.
